Squeeze'n as much in as I can!

Here are some pics from Aidens birthday party back on the 1st and our house warming party on the 7th. Go Team Edward!





Here are the main highlights since my last post:
Aiden lost a tooth. Last week I had to take him back to Children's Hospital for another round of evaluations. This group of doctors did not feel that autism or asbergers was the appropriate diagnosis for Aiden. They said that he has flags for several different disorders including asbergers, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and maybe some others, but they couldn't diagnose him with one specific thing at this time. I must admit, their revocation of an Asbergers diagnosis left me confused and frustrated as it was the only thing that had made since or been agreed upon at this point. Now he has no label wish makes it harder to get help. This has all come at a time when he has been displaying some new challenges as well, I'm worn out. We have an official IEP meeting March 16th, and I hope they are planning to add a few things to his schedule.
On a much lighter note, Lucy is sleeping through the night!! 9pm-6am. Yesss-
She weighed 10.5lbs at her 2 month appointment last week and I finally consented to start some of her immunizations now that I think she is big and healthy enough, but much to the docs dismay I am still planning on delaying the MMR for bother Lucy and Jack until they are 3.
Jack has been doing great and has had no problem transitioning to a "big boy bed". He loves Blues Clues and is already wearing a 3T. He's so easy going even in his "terrible twos".
Bryan is getting ready for a trip to Boston and New York this month. He is also starting a project boat in the garage this week. He plans to start doing side jobs next month as boating season starts getting a little closer, and is planning to get certified as a diver so that he can do some of the work while boats are still in the water. we'll see... He is so happy to have his own man cave and all of his tools.
We had a little house warming get together this past weekend, it was great. Lucy had 2 other babies to play with, Keeley and Dayton, and she looked so tiny next to her friends (Dayton is 1 week older than Lucy and Keeley is about 6 weeks older). I wish I had taken their picture together but they were barely all awake at the same time.
I have lots more to share, and I'll try to blog again this week.

"Thank you Lord for so many things, and please help me to be a good steward of your blessings. Amen."

Mandy, I hope that you are able to get the answers you need with Aidan. I am sure it is quite frustrating not having answers.
I will be praying for you and Aidan.
