Catch up pics

The last few weeks have been very busy. We're working on a new care setting for Saul, which feels like a full time job around all of the other things going on. But, we are now sure that he will ultimately be in a better situation, and that's all that matters.

Saul continues to grow like crazy and surprising us every day with his new sounds, words and crawling speed.

And getting really brave.

The poor kid never has a chance of learning the alphabet correctly!

Just . . .couldn't. . . . stay . . . .awake.

Aaron and Saul spent the evening together a few weeks ago while I was at a work event. I promised to be home by 8ish in order to nurse Saul and put him to bed. Aaron tried so, so hard to keep Saul entertained and awake and I just barely got home by 8. When I walked hurriedly from the kitchen into the hallway Aaron whispered, "Sssshshsh" and this is what I found:
