Jacob had a great birthday party. Miss Jennifer, Grandma-Grandma, Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Liz, Natalie, Alex and Zoe, Aunt Anita, Sloane and Bobby, Uncle Dave, Aunt Jen and Brooke, Aunt Karen and Uncle Mike were all here. We had a lot of fun with everyone! It was good to see them all too!We had a Lightning McQueen party. I tried to decorate a cake myself and had to buy one from the grocery store at 10:30 the night before.
Jacob had his 2 year check-up on Friday. His pediatrician is recommending another evaluation from Early On. Jacob isn't talking enough. He should be using some sentences by now and is barely using full words. I wasn't surprised, I was expecting the Dr. to say just that. All of Jacob's biological siblings have gone through speech therapy - we knew it was coming. I called the therapists today, they are sending out the paperwork and they should be here in about 10 days to do the evaluation.
Also, at the check-up, the Dr. found some fluid in Jacob's ears - just fluid...no signs of infection. This may be contributing to the speech delay. Jacob goes back for a recheck in about 6 weeks. If the fluid is still present, we will open discussion to have tubes put in his ears. Again, 2 of his biological siblings have tubes in their ears - not a surprise to have Jacob need them.
We also have affectionately named the water in our basement, it's now known as Lake Harper. We're not sure if it's just seepage from the rains or if we have a leak where the main comes into the house. Nothing appears to be wet on or around the pipes but the floor sure is wet! We'll see if we get a $100 water bill.
Looks like the party was great! My younger brother had difficulty with speech at that age, too, and had to get tubes in his ears. And our niece Kaitlyn, who is just a month younger than Jacob, is just starting with speech therapy as well. Early On is a very cool service...we have it as a service through my new workplace, as well, so I'm learning more about it slowly but surely. Looking forward to updates.
