ing to an end. Thank God!! Christmas was busy, but fun! I know that the next few years will even get better as the boys will begin to understand all of the magic of Santa!! We can't wait. Nathan received a train table set from Santa and he loved it. He was such a tv bug prior to the train set and I will have to say that he has barely watched much tv since Christmas Day. I am not sure if the less tv has been the motivation or what, but I will say that we have been noticing some changes, yet small, in Nathan's speech. His therapy has been going pretty well and he his consistently doing about 5 signs. He also says about 6 animal sounds. The therapist told me last week that she notices him only using vowels to speak....with the exception of "d". Then all of a sudden yesterday he was doing "b", "p", "t", and "w". Granted, he is still behind, but it's nice to hear some new things coming out of his mouth! :) I say 
that now!! He also had the re-eval for his hearing and he did pass, so no problems there! Cole is now 7 1/2 months and getting chunkier by the minute! :) What a rolie polie! He is loving to laugh, especially at Nathan. We think he will start crawling within the next month. He started doing the army crawl tonight....I will see about posting a video! Once he's mobile, the torcher begins again! Well, at least until he understands all of the things he shouldn't be getting into. That will take a while. So, in the mean time, I think it will be time to put the gates back up. Nathan 
is going to love that! :( He is eating quite a bit, but still not sleeping so well. He seems to be my sensitive sleeper. Nathan can sleep through just about anything! Cole can sleep through noise, but not through things like a cold. He starts to sleep well and than he gets a cold, or than it was the steroids keeping him awake all hours of the night, and now it seems to be teething. His Christmas gift from Santa was his first tooth (bottom front). He is doing well, other than that!

Jay is much happier with work since he changed jobs in May. 
I will have to say, he may even be slightly relaxed!! :) Okay, that might be pushing it! Work has been pretty busy for me....but what else is new! There will always be sick people! I just can't wait for the day that I can finally have a normal Monday through Friday job again! UUUGGHH!! It sounds nice to only have to work two days a week, but the idea is better than the reality of having to give up EVERY weekend! I know Jay can't wait until it's over either!

Sounds like it was a busy and fun holiday. I wish for you guys (and Cole) that his sleeping was better but it will, in time! I love the pictures you posted.... great job!
