Merry Christmas everyone! CJ has developed a bit of a tic, and will randomly and VERY loudly shout "HAPPY HOLIDAYS" It is rather jolting at 6:30 in the morning or while driving, but I love the fact that she is so excited about the season. She has really been excited about wrapping gifts, picking out gifts for others, and having visitors. She also loves Christmas songs and her current movie is How the Grinch stole Christmas, the recent Ron Howard movie starring Jim Carrey as the Grinch. Even as she goes to bed, you'll hear her calling out to "Mr. Grinch", thanks Amy.
We are doing well, and the weather has returned to more normal temps for this time of year. We are very excited about both of our parents coming to visit along with Eric's brother and our niece. They will be here for a week or so, and we have other visitors stopping for a day too. Our blessings this year have been bountiful and we thank God for them.
Eric has been doing very well in the simulators and will do a couple next week while most are on break. This is the last part of training for us here, so we are all anxious that he finishes strong and quickly.
CJ got really good news at speech this week, in 2 months time, she has made 6 months worth of progress and is now scoring at a 2.7 level. It is still articulation errors that are lowering her score, as her understanding of language is very strong, and her social language skills are advance. She should continue to make up ground and be caught up soon to her peers. We have noticed a huge improvement in being able to understand her, and that has led to less frustration for all of us.
Laurelei is doing well and playing more and more games with us. She has enjoyed the tree and decorations. She likes to get in on wrestling matches with Daddy and CJ, which seems like a risky move to me. As she turned 10 months, she began to sleep 8hrs at night, most nights. A HUGE improvement over the initial 4 she would do then only 90mins the rest of the night. I am relishing the sleep!
We wish you all a very blessed Christmas and 2008.
