Jackson is in "Early Intervention" to help with his speech and motor skills. He has been slow to talk, although he says more words than we realize- we just don't always recognize them since he often leaves out the consonants- and he still seems to walk more like it's new to him, rather than like he's been doing it for a year. We are lucky that our school district has such a good program to help with these issues. Here is a cute clip from his last home visit:
The EIS (Early Intervention Specialist) was playing some games with him that work on eye contact and reactions and this one was when they were playing with a popper. Jackson loved the popper and would go into a fit of laughter everytime it popped (but chose to not laugh as much once I got the camera :( ). The EIS just loved Jackson's reactions and thought he so fun to work with. Unfortunately, she's not our regular EIS, just a substitute while our regular one is on maternity leave. (Maybe I should call and request a switch?)

That's awesome that they have EIS out there. We had Ellie in a program when she was little for some physical therapy. Luckily everything is great now. I hope the home visits keep going well!
Lettie is in speach therapy. She says a ton, but talks to fast that she does not ununciate (how do you spell that?) So, we have been going around making the K sound and trying to get her to put T D and Ps at the end of her words! -Audra
