Hello!

Benjamin is still doing great. Although he had a fussy weekend, but he seems to be doing much better now. Yesterday he had his RSV shot and we met with a nurse from a program called Early On. They wanted to take a look at him because he seems to be behind in his physical development. They found that his motor skills and physical skills are quite behind due to all of is surgeries and recovery time. Although mentally he is right on the right path. They are going to have some physical and occupational therapists see Ben to help us and him with his development. It will be wonderful, and they come right to the our home.

Ben and Ally have been both doing great. Allison is basically potty trained. She rarely has accidents and it has only been a week. We are very proud of her. We think going to public places might be tricky, but we will take it as it comes. On 2/10/11 they got a cousin, Maria Josephine Tesmer. My sister finally had her little girl and she is just beautiful. We are going to visit her soon.

The wonderful moments continue...

Ben is doing very good. They were able to get his medications down to two times a day rather than three. It makes life a little easier. He has been such a happy good boy. I think this is what nature intended for his personality to be. He loves people and he likes to laugh. He is so ticklish. Just changing him makes him giggle. He slept through the night last night, which is so cool. The Wednesday blizzard was awesome and I got to spend the day at home with the kids. There is nothing like a snow day. Dan turned 32 on the 3rd and we celebrated with Red Lobster, Brownies, and a trip to Sears. This weekend we are going to grout the tile in the new bedroom downstairs and hang out. I am due to add a photo - I will try to do it in the next post. Have a good one!
