21 months

Yesterday my baby turned 21 months. He has been doing really well. He is still a busy body and we feel like there is very little time to rest when he is awake, but we try to enjoy every second of it. We had his early intervention evaluation a few weeks ago. My biggest concern was his speech and he thankfully qualified for speech therapy services. I can't wait to get those started. They also said that they don't believe he has completely developed his chewing skills which could be why he is resisting table food. The therapist will help him work on this area as well.

We had an absolute wonderful time in Savannah and were sad to our time had ended. Bryson actually did very well during the long drive there and back. He only got fussy the last half hour each way. We walked around downtown, went to many shops, took a riverboat cruise, took them to the park and went down to Tybee Island beach. I have to say, if you don't own a GPS, you MUST get one. It was such a lifesaver. It got us all around town.

We all got to witness first hand how much alike Bryson and Sabrina are. On Saturday they finally started warming up to each other and would play next to each other. They even decided to have a screaming match and would laugh so hard at each other. We couldn't do anything, but laugh. It was great to be able to talk about our experiences, past and children with someone who not only understands, but that has been through it as well. We shared many conversations (even late night ones), laughs and found out how much we all have in common. Too bad they live so far away from us, but that is ok because we have already started talking about another trip.

Looks like you guys had a great trip! We used to live in Savannah, best day of our lives when we moved away, but it was very confusing driving in that town!
