Besides that there is not a ton of things going on... I really need to go get my camera and post some pictures. I guess you can say we are officially a soccer family. Elle has started soccer and is doing pretty good. Her first game she scored a goal, but it was by some sort of miracle... I think of the incident and it is in slow motion. You see Elle is not so into soccer right now, she told us the first game she doesn't like how everyone is by the ball, so she usually ends up running behind the storm of players or running somewhere not even close to where the game is going on : ) So when she was in the cluster of little girls trying to kick the ball, somehow she got out in front of the pack and she was kicking the ball down the field, I thought for sure she would miss the goal, but somehow she made one last kick and it slowly started to go to the goal.... there were 2 little girls from the other team right there, one of them just an arms length from the ball, but for whatever reason she didn't care to go for the ball, so it slowly made its way past that little girl and with the help of some fairy and wind it rolled into the goal.... what a moment!! from that point on Elle was interested in the game, you totally saw this change in her, but then again that only lasted for the rest of that game: ) We have since had 3 more games and she is back to just running back and forth, maybe getting into the action a little here and there but for the most part she still doesn't like the group thing..... Oh well, its her firs try and I think she will get more into it in a few more seasons..
Jack continues to shock me everyday. You see his PT and I have been trying to work with him on pulling himself up and he will do it when we are working with him, but then nothing after that. Well he started to get the pulling thing up in his crib. He uses his arms alot which was something we were trying not to do as he needs to use his legs more to build up his muscles, but we cheered him on so loud when he started doing it. Well now I will leave him for a second turn around and he has pulled himself up on something else around the house... The ottoman, their little play kitchen, and even over by the window... It's crazy exciting for us and the next step will be for him to start cruising... We are so happy and all of us go crazy when we see him do it, Elle being his biggest cheerleader of course : ) I know it might not sound like much, but it is huge for us, one of those things I was just like "Is this ever going to happen??" Well he showed me : )
Here is a picture of him after he pulled himself up on their play kitchen...
I will post some pictures of our soccer star once Im not so lazy and I go up and grab the camera....
He looks so big! And I love Elle's method of playing soccer. I'm sure Ella's would be the same...maybe next year we'll sign her up. Hope you hear word on the test soon...it's time to get things moving forward!
