So this morning I made some cookies for the kiddos. It was a Jamie Oliver recipe, I will share it on my blog later, and it chilled in the fridge overnight then got cut up and baked this am. It was a cf/gf recipe and they were pretty yummy. I made the kids wait until later because obviously I would not let them have cookies for breakfast.
The twins loved them. Josey too. I thought they were pretty darn good as well. anyhow....per instructions from the ST and the CW I obviously make sure that I tell Brady what it is and really draw the word out.
this afternoon after nap he got up...pointed to the table(where the cookies were) and said, "ooo-kee". Really?! Seriously?! I think that is the "longest" word so far that he has spit out. I cannot help but wonder how much the gf/cf diet is helping him. He totally said cookie.
will I ever stop crying with new words from him? : )

Holy Crap!
(my apologies because I think this post title was used by a friend for the same reason but I know you will understand why I also used it...)
Brady just said "apple" while using the sign.
As if this was not enough he just put together, through sign and words, "apple, more, please", in that order. Using BOTH the signs AND the words. and he was pretty darn clear with all those words as well.
I absolutely cried hearing that from him. We have gone through almost 4 apples in the process as well. lol Kind of like the bubbles...if he wants apples he will get apples. I am just over the moon right now.

Bubbles
One of the things we are working with Brady on is being more aware of his mouth and lips and tongue. His ST blows bubbles with him and touchs his mouth with them. Through these bubbles she explained she is also working on sensory issues as well as his verbal development. He also started hitting his chest and saying "me" when he wanted a turn with the bubble wand and blowing bubbles. Bubbles have been a good thing here.
We have a bubble blower. I like to set it up and start it blowing bubbles outside for the kids to chase and also when they are playing on the back porch sometimes too.
Yesterday Brady got up and gestured to the back porch and said, "bubble". oh.my.goodness. I about fell over. I excitedly repeated "bubble" to him and commended him for "good talking". I got the bubble blower and brought it inside to blow bubbles for him. Unfortunately the bubble blower had passed away sometime in the night. I will be buying a new one. If he wants bubbles and will ask me for bubbles....dude we will get him bubbles. :)

It is April!
We are doing well here...loving the warm up in our weather. It is sooo nice to be able to go outside and play. To be able to open all the windows and enjoy the fresh air.
Brady is coming along. He has added "uhh-ey"(uppy) when he wants us to pick him up and "sooes" for shoes. It is awesome that he is using uppy spontaneously when he wants us to pick him up, in the right context and all. He is also using "feesh"(fish) and baby more often.
So his words now are:
mom
daddy
sissy
no
uppy
shoes
fish
drink
night
bye
baby
eat
cheese
more
please
I think that is it. I will add to this when I remember more.
Lucey is all kinds of funny. She is talking up a storm and it is always amusing. She pottied in the potty for the first time last week. It was a one time thing. lol That is ok. Josey did it all in her own time and I am sure that Lucey and Brady will too. She is definitely her own person with her own sweet personality. She has no problem holding her own with Brady and Josey either. She is a snuggler for sure and still prefers to be touched while trying to go to sleep. Her and I often spend the last half of the night sleeping together.
Josey is growing like a weed. I put a 5T dress on her the other day, I swear it fit fine when she first got it, and it was a little short. Good thing I prefer shorts under all dresses...this one needed it. She is a sweet kiddo and is always making drawings and cards for her friends and family. She is going to be starting some summer gymnastics this year. She took a couple of short sessions at the Y and loved it. She seems to have a knack for it and since she enjoys it I figured why not. Next week she starts another season of spring soccer. I am her coach this time and I think we will have fun! I will definitely update on how that goes.
Overall we are busy and happy and having fun these days. Happy for spring and loving the warmer weather. It is the day before Easter and tomorrow we will be having an Easter meal and egg hunt with some good friends. Next week we have a shower for my brother in law who will be getting married in early May. This time next month we will be in sunny Florida for his wedding. Looking forward to that! Brad is best man and Brady will be the ring bearer. Looking forward to seeing my guys dressed up and looking great!
