always in action

If you watch both blogs and ever wondered why you see a little more of Kelsea than you do Luke, it's because so many of my pictures turn out like this:
See Luke? Bottom right, flipping off the ottoman. They were playing a game where they pretend to ride a motorcyle, vrooming, signing "Bike", buckling in and putting on hats - too cute! Get the camera, off he goes.

Luke with his soccer ball...that just rolled away...


a little better - at least it clearly captures his concentration




It's just tricky to get pictures of someone who is constantly in motion!

Early Steps Evaluation

Luke had his developmental assessment at Early Steps today, and things went about how his Momma thought they would: Luke is a handsome, independent little man, who has advanced motor skills and needs some extra help with communication.

The summary of his present status with age equivalents:
Gross/Fine Motor Skills: 26 months
Self-Help/Adaptive Skills: 16 months
Social/Emotional Skills: 18 months
Academic/Cognitive: 17 months
Receptive and Expressive Communication: 13 months

They have recommended that he have a comprehensive hearing test done at All Children's here in Sarasota and that he begin speech therapy after that.

hiking at Myakka









Signing "GO!" one of the two new signs Kelsea taught me on the way home (the other way Stop!).

don't get dirty, okay?

Mommy: "Yes, you can play in the backyard, just don't get dirty, okay? We've got to leave in five minutes."

firetrucks

Luke loves firetrucks - today he got to sit in one while his cousins explored it with Daddy The slightest sound of a siren breaks him out into the biggest smile and trucks in traffic are always pointed out with Ah! SSS!Kelsea does not like firetrucks...this is about as close as she wanted to be to it, aside from occasional protests that we take Luke out of the firetruck because it wasn't safe. Same photo, zoomed in on the face:
