sibling pic/belly shot
A large bowl of cheerios, bathed in creamy whole milk with bite-sized chunks of fresh strawberries floating freely- strawberries so fresh that I had to actually scrub dirt off of one of them-
Thank you, Costco.
My belly is happy.
An hour for a 6 month assessment meeting with all of the therapists and social workers on Addison's team, an hour long PT session, much needed gab time with a friend, several hours of book editing, 1.5 hours with Addison's brand new OT....
today has been full. Much like my stomach is now that I have eaten that bowl of cheerios. OK, fine.
Bowls.
I'm just hopping on here briefly to share a few pics with you. For the first two, I was trying to get a shot of Addison touching and laying her head on my belly like she loves to do. A sibling shot, if you will.
Instead, all I got was this:

I don't think she's quite ready to share the camera yet.
(OK, anyone else see the dimple right above her belly? What is that? Should I be concerned? Lately it's been coming much more pronounced...)
This next picture is my 33 week belly pic. I would like to get some nice maternity shots with me and Addison, but kind of hard to use my new camera on myself...still trying to figure out how best to do that one.
Yeah, little brother is getting HUGE.
(kindly avoid beginning your comment with "You fat cow" or "time to lay off the cheerios and whole milk" or "you need to zoom out more to get it all in"....yes. sensitive. guilty.
Carrying around a big pregnant belly and a floppy 20 lb toddler everywhere in the blistering heat is so much fun I totally think you're missing out if you haven't experienced this thrilling sensation (hey, trying to use reverse psycology on myself)
Hearing today that my 17 month old's fine motor skills are at the level of a 9 month old was really hard to swallow.
But I don't have the emotional energy to type out a hugely involved post, working through how that makes me feel, so I'll just state it for now and come back to it later.
Lots of work to do now that we FINALLY have a new OT. I love her, and she is very motivated to help us make up for lost time because of our less than satisfactory old OT.
On a positive note, Addison is rocking the gross motor skills and totally met every single goal that we made 6 months ago for her.
You win some, you lose some.
and then you eat another bowl of cheerios.
happy Thursday night.
