However, today calls for the time out to record the first steps.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>BECKETT TOOK 4 STEPS TODAY!!!!!</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wUswYzIjoQI/TrgXyK_GQCI/AAAAAAAACQw/cFyRSiwfGP0/s1600/PA309390.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wUswYzIjoQI/TrgXyK_GQCI/AAAAAAAACQw/cFyRSiwfGP0/s320/PA309390.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">His baby-sitter called to tell me that during therapy our amazing, odds-defying, stubborn, little flirt took steps several times today during therapy. I screamed, cried, laughed, and shared the news! I think I almost feel just as excited today as when he was born, or we were able to hold him for the first time, when he came home from the hospital, rolled over, crawled, pulled up...and now steps!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y2gdz0mH1qY/TrgXahF4T-I/AAAAAAAACQo/yLilEUx8UfQ/s1600/023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y2gdz0mH1qY/TrgXahF4T-I/AAAAAAAACQo/yLilEUx8UfQ/s320/023.JPG" width="213" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Beckett is doing so well it is absolutely amazing! He is saying new words every day and becoming quite the daredevil. We are continuing to work on his core strength so he is more stable when standing and therefore will increase his ability to walk. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">LOVE our life with the amazing things we are blessed with. 16 months and this boy is stealing my heart every day. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I am so happy about this! I didn't think it was that big of a deal. But then she just hopped right out and marched in with her little bumble bee backpack bouncing down the sidewalk. We had our little tearful moment after she walked in. Hard stuff being a parent and watching your babies grow up.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We had a little interview after school today. Here it is...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i>How did you feel this morning?</i> I felt happy about going to preschool. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><i>Who took you to preschool today?</i> Mommy and Daddy.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i>What did Mrs. Head say when you were walking in?</i> Welcome to preschool. Everyone is waiting for you.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i>What did you think of Mrs. Head?</i> She was nice. She helped us play a little fishing game. It was hard and I can’t do it by myself yet. There was another big person there but I don’t know her name. I’ll ask her on Thursday.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i>Who were the other kids at preschool with you?</i> Lillian, Carson, Rachel, Dawson. What are the other names? Hmmmm. Tell me!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i>What did you do first?</i> We comed in. We sat on the floor. We stood on a black line. We went to the bathroom...big girls bathroom. There was a boys bathroom too. </div><div class="MsoNormal">I didn’t need any help in the bathroom. We had to wash our hands. </div><div class="MsoNormal">We played with a little kitchen. Like mine, but not my kitchen.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i>And then what?</i> </div><div class="MsoNormal">We goed and played. We walked on buckets and played with big bouncy balls with handles. We bounced until we fell. We hit our heads and it hurted really bad but we didn’t cry.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i>What did you do next?</i> </div><div class="MsoNormal">Lillian had to feel the weather outside. It was sunny and it was daytime. I had a job too. I turned the arrow to the bear that looks like the sun. A boy named Carson had to turn it to the bear that looks like he was in the rain. (??)</div><div class="MsoNormal">We learned about the days. We sang a little song…insert her singing the days of the week song. :)</div><div class="MsoNormal">And then we went to a little drink store and got kool-aid. No one wanted water, everybody just wanted koolaid. We didn’t drive there, just walked.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i>And then...</i> </div><div class="MsoNormal">Lined up.</div><div class="MsoNormal">We colored a picture, colored in the lines, made our little can (Pringles can for notes back and forth) and even got to put stickers on it.</div><div class="MsoNormal">And then we lined up.</div><div class="MsoNormal">And then we leaved. That’s all I did. Lori picked me up because you were at school and Daddy was at work.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i>Are you ready to go back on Thursday?</i> Yes I am!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Beckett is working SO hard! The new "big boy shoes" are helping, but standing sure is tiring. After his 12 month checkup with the pediatrician...we have until 15 months to be much more comfortable with standing and hopefully walking, or we go see ortho.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Beckett is really working on standing, working very hard during PT each week and at home while playing, but just really not loving it at all. This weekend it seems like something has kind of clicked. He is doing so much better and doesn't even cry and complain too much if he is distracted enough. Paisley does very well providing this distraction. ;)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Fortunately, we were always given very positive outlooks for Beckett's future and walking was in it from "diagnosis day." Our perinatologist felt confident from the first ultrasound that his defect was low enough AND then after his closure surgery we were told there was very little to no nerve damage...all pleasant things in the world of Spina Bifida. We know it is possible he may need supports of some sort, but right now there has been no mention of it. He is doing well and learning to stabilize his ankles and do a little repositioning on his own. For just turning one this week, I think we are doing just fine.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Yikes!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Possibly it's because we are having a party on Friday...a rather big party. Double yikes!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Certainly it’s because I am so thankful to be where we are one year later.</div><div style="text-align: center;">When you get that diagnosis and your world seems to stop, it is so hard to look into the future. And then you research and spend the whole rest of your pregnancy worrying. I hate to admit that, but it’s true. I feared something was going wrong, or things were “getting worse.” All those ultrasounds…ugh, just so many chances to see something that wasn’t there before. But we would have taken that news and figured out how to “fix” that too.</div><div style="text-align: center;">But then that baby is born. </div><div style="text-align: center;">So innocent.</div><div style="text-align: center;">We sat and stared.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Took pictures and prayed.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Bonded and cried through scary times.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Visited with family and the NICU became our home.</div><div style="text-align: center;">But then we came home. And we began our life as a new and bigger family. Paisley learned all about this baby brother that really was here, not just a picture or video.</div><div style="text-align: center;">In this year…</div><div style="text-align: center;">Normal check-ups with the pediatrician. Visits to the neurosurgeon. MRIs. Shunt revision. Physical therapy once a week. One ear infection. One round of breathing treatments.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Learning to smile. Rolling over. Laughs at Paisley. Wonderful family memories. Crawling e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e. Pulling up to his knees. Exploring his world.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Built relationships with some amazing families. Honestly, all you bloggers, the support is amazing.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am so proud to be your mommy, Beckett Josiah Crosier. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I cannot seem to wrap my brain around you digging in to your birthday cake or what you will think of opening presents. How your eyes will sparkle when you are surrounded by so many people who love you and have supported our family.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Daddy, Paisley, and I love you so very much!</div>JourneyWithTheCrosiershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05370291003360952184noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603155014886888901.post-75403301042552680912011-06-23T17:08:00.000-04:002011-06-23T17:08:50.591-04:00The many faces...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pG_6S94gsZc/TgOl-NTTLtI/AAAAAAAACK4/MF2XZWCV4lA/s1600/beckett+faces.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="196" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pG_6S94gsZc/TgOl-NTTLtI/AAAAAAAACK4/MF2XZWCV4lA/s640/beckett+faces.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Paisley spent the weekend being a wild child! Her first push-pop sucker and she has decided she wants to be a rock-n-roll star when she grows up. Oh. my. goodness! I put her hair up in twist buns on Sunday, and by Monday.... she looks like a different child! :)<br />

Beckett started with a low-grade temp on Friday afternoon. Saturday morning we took him to the doctor to find out he has his first ear infection. First antibiotic and he is almost a year old. Not too bad. He was pretty puny Saturday and Sunday, but was a lot better on Monday. He will have an ear re-check when we go back in for his one year check-up in a couple of weeks.<br />

Beckett is already becoming quite the momma's boy, which I don't complain about too much. However I know Lori, our babysitter, won't be too thrilled with an unhappy boy come the end of summer break. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1qYVXLW0CPc/TfYWvfUfQqI/AAAAAAAACJA/uLe2ss_KIws/s1600/IMG_0071.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1qYVXLW0CPc/TfYWvfUfQqI/AAAAAAAACJA/uLe2ss_KIws/s400/IMG_0071.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I am still in class earning my Master's degree. I get no breaks. My courses last 8 weeks and every other course we get one week off before the next one starts. It's a lot of work, but I'm thankful I don't have to travel and sit in class and that I am able to complete <i>most</i> of the work after Paisley and Beckett go to bed. Ready for it to be over...April 2012. Ugh.<br />
<br />
We bought a new camera over the weekend...no more point and shoot for this family. I am SO excited. We celebrate our 5 year anniversary on June 17th, so it was our gift to each other. We researched a lot and decided on a Canon Rebel T1i. I am very pleased with it but I sure do have a lot of learning ahead of me! So many modes, then there are the lenses that I really know nothing about. I'm determined though. Ready for a new hobby and better pictures of my sweeties.<br />

Nothing new or too exciting to report for him. Paisley counts down the minutes until he comes home each day from work and asks often...I think I heard Daddy or It's almost time for Daddy to come home or Is Daddy on his way home yet? Poor girl...daddy's girl for sure! <br />

Paisley is turning into quite the little fish as we are spending as much time as possible at the Uhl pool (close friends of our family). She loves to swim and have Abbigail's undivided attention in the pool. This week Paisley thinks she doesn't need a nap. Let me tell you...she does. :( Beckett naps from 1-3 or close to it. At Lori's, and at home when she wants to, Paisley does too. She lays in her bed, sneaks books and small toys into bed with her, or tip-toes around her room collecting things. When she hears me coming to check on her...run and jump in her bed. Little stinker. Her brain gets new wrinkles all the time as she is learning things like crazy. She knows all her letters and their sounds. She can spell and write...Paisley, Mommy, Daddy, Pop, Nana, Mamaw, and Papaw. She is close to knowing Beckett but still gets a little confused. She loves to draw and her pictures of people are getting more detailed every day. They are hilarious!<br />

We have his 12 month well child visit scheduled for the first week in July. Birthday party planning is well under way and the invites went in the mail today. No big theme, just bright colors, a new red wagon, and a handsome boy! We are trying to turn this party into more of a thank you for all the support we received before he was born and while Beckett was in the hospital for 20 days. It is so hard to believe it has almost been a year since our time in the NICU. In most ways it seems like that stress was just yesterday. How far we have come in a year!?! Beckett is still receiving physical therapy once a week. He is crawling EVERYWHERE, pulling up to his knees all the time, and starting to repeat words. In PT, Heather is working on standing while holding onto toys, pulling up to stand from kneeling. He really doesn't like to stand now that he crawls, because he knows he can get down and move wherever he wants to. Still working like crazy though to make him more comfortable standing.<br />
Food is his main love right now...pieces of cheese, crackers, baby puffs, yogurt melts, still some baby food especially at lunch time or dinner if we aren't having something I can give him, yogurt with rice cereal, baby goldfish, a few french fries when Paisley will share at a restaurant, pretty much anything we put in front of him. Still having four 6oz bottles a day. Refuses any of the 362 sippy cups we have purchased. Water in a bottle will do occasionally. We've got to figure something out but he is quite stubborn. Dr. Nassim (our pediatrician) will tell us no more bottle at his 12 month checkup. Geez! <br />
Beckett's words...mama, dada, no (hilarious...see the video on Facebook, if you haven't already), duck, uh-oh. He's repeated some other sounds as well (thank you, please, I love you, more, all done) and Paisley is quite the little teacher trying to get him to say words all the time. He knows the sign for "all done" too!<br />

I've been talking to a guy with an advertising company in Georgia for over a month. They got our name from the hospital, but I honestly didn't think it would ever work out. Turns out...it really happened! It was quite the experience, that's for sure. There were about 10 kids, one of them was "going home" and the other children were supposed to be in the hospital telling her good-bye. Beckett was the only baby and was in a nurses station with a nurse playing. We have no idea when it will air, but it was quite the production...crew of 50, most of a unit shut down, security around the area. Fun times! We were told to bring at least 10 outfits for the wardrobe lady to choose from, then she called and wanted us to bring pajamas and onesies too. A whole laundry basket full of choices and he ended up wearing a yellow onesie. Oh well, they liked his chubby legs showing. We have no idea when it will air, but I can't wait to see how it all comes together. My mom and I recorded some audio for them to use also, just sharing Beckett's story and our experience with the hospital.<br />

This week he has gone from crawling 3 or 4 "crawls" to get something to literally all over the house! He has also gone from 4 teeth (two top and two bottom) to 6 TEETH (two more additions on the top)! Very little fussiness because of these new pearly whites, which we are very thankful for. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's the story behind this random picture...<br />
I brought home some papers to grade yesterday along with a ruler. I never looked at them, bit at least I had good intentions. This morning I gathered my things and found my ruler -broken- laying under the papers. I went to Paisley with it in my hand and her face fell. :(<br />
Me: Paisley, what do you know about this broken ruler?</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Paisley: Weeeelllllll, I was watching The Wizard of Oz a long, long time ago (or last night) and my foot hit it and it broke--granted this is a thick, heavy duty ruler that is difficult to break which is why we purchased them for my third graders ;-). I tried really, really hard to put it back together. I couldn't get it to stay so I just hid it from you. Sorry momma.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Me: As I tried so very hard not to laugh (and I didn't) I explained to her that it was wrong, it belongs to the school, my kids now won't have a ruler to use, blah, blah, blah. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I fear this spunky young lady will hide things and test us for many years to come. </div>JourneyWithTheCrosiershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05370291003360952184noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6603155014886888901.post-77894007830662555652011-04-28T23:20:00.000-04:002011-04-28T23:20:15.341-04:00New LookThe blog got a makeover tonight, but is still a work in progress.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh this boy of ours is so close to crawling. I feel like I've been saying this for a while though. He is still have physical therapy once per week. He is scooting and moving around. He will work pretty hard to get to whatever he wants, but then other times is a little lazy. One leg gets caught under his tummy and then he just sits back up. We are still working all the time! Luckily right now he is extremely content to sit on the floor and play with toys.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Beckett also decided he would try one of Kylie's snacks. Any food other than baby food or cereal we have given Beckett has been a nightmare. He gags. He spits. He shakes all over. I guess he decided he's ready to grow up a little this week. Veggie straws...he ate at least three. Baby Mum Mum rice snacks...at an entire one (still gagged with almost every bite, but he got through it). We'll keep trying new things!<br />
