Walking, Rolling, Somersaulting...

So far, 2013 is coming along very well! Here are a few updates:

Sam
Sam has been doing wonderfully at home! He has almost weaned off of his pain medication, and is walking around the house without his walker now, although he does like having it close by. He goes to physical therapy 3 times every week, and it seems to be helping him tremendously. Tomorrow, however, he does start chemotherapy again. He will most likely finish up the last 5 rounds, to make 12 rounds total. We are hoping he will be finished with all of this by the end of April. During chemotherapy, Sam does love having visitors, so please feel free to come by - please just call beforehand to make sure that he not having an exceptionally bad day.

Madelyn
Maddy rolled over for the first time on Saturday, January 5th, and has not stopped since! Anytime you put her down on her tummy, she rolls over onto her back. She seems like she is very close to rolling the other way, too! She is sleeping wonderfully- usually falling asleep around 8 or 9pm and sleeping until 7:30am. Every now and then, she gets up around 4am for a feeding, but not every night. We also stopped swaddling her, so she is sleeping in a sleep sack. We will be going in a week to her urologist to have another ultrasound done on her kidney. 

Now that I can roll over, I love tummy time!

I also love my exersaucer!


Taylor
Taylor begin gymnastics last week! She loves it! She was in a Monday evening class, but got into a Saturday morning class that will begin this weekend, so she will be at a new place. We are really happy that she is involved in a class that will hopefully teach her some great social skills and get her moving. 

Ready for gymnastics!

Trying on mommy's shoes!

Cheryl 
I know many people have been asking, so I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be returning to work on Wednesday, February 6th. It's going to be hard being away from my family during the day, but I am looking forward to seeing my students and coworkers again!
