May 11

Springtime has set in and we are enjoying it as much as we can before the heat of summer arrives!  After the success of the baseball game last month, we decided to head to a Dynamo game this month.


Enjoying the soccer game!


  

He had such a good time, we decided to send him as a future soccer player to his school's career day.  This day is always very hard for me, but we try to make the best of it.


Besides cheering on soccer, we also go to go cheer on our friends doing the Ironman!  Mr. T actually ran it in honor of WILLPower and we can't thank him enough.


       

Go Mr. T!!!




Not to be outdone, Little Buddy also ran the kids race and received his Ironkid medal!


The nice weather helped us enjoy our first look at the new location for Little Buddy's horse therapy ranch.  It will be a longer drive for us, but I know they will do a lot of good work on such spacious and beautiful property!



Working together to stake our the new arena area!


Just two happy kids enjoying the outdoors and some bubbles.  Please stay beautiful weather!


Bubble time!


The other big event this month was Easter.  Between school parties, Pop-Pop coming to visit, and goodies from the Easter Bunny, it was an exciting time!

     


Two kids ready for school parties!




Easter Bunny picture complete!





Time to color some eggs!




The Easter Bunny came while we were at Church!




Enjoying the apple pie that Pop-Pop brought him!




New neck speakers from the Easter Bunny so he can listen to music whenever he wants without covering his ears (which he hates).  They also seem to be helping him with staying calm and focused during OT and OT.


Busy spring days means a tired boy in the evenings!  One night he even tried to climb into our bed to get some rest!

     

Good night, Little Buddy!



Height and Weight
He's eating and eating and eating and growing and growing and growing!  He is 81 pounds this month and at 55 1/8 inches.




Personality
Overall, he's been very happy.  But he's also been very energetic and LOUD!  Trying to find a balance but so happy for his good spirits and strong body!


Developmental Changes
Still doing great and we are even seeing gains thanks to his physical therapy!  Again, stable is good in our world!

     

Playing appropriately with his favorite toy at school!



Daniel Tiger will always be a favorite, I think!



Fun Tidbits
I had a beautiful early MOther's Day gift this month.  Little Buddy crawled up on me after I got home from being with Little Sister at her swim team fun night and was giving me hugs and kisses.  As if this wasn't amazing enough, he then looked right at me and told me, "I love you, too!"  My heart burst with joy!


We are so lucky to have this picture of the moment.  Daddy just thought he was getting a picture of my kisses and hugs, but caught the moment perfectly!


I can't believe next month will be summer and our little boy will be NINE!!!  Eeek!

Until then
