I Heart Faces - Photo Challenges, Tutorials and TipsThe Paper Mama

 

The lovely Chelsea from The Paper Mama is having another contest. This one is “Your Best Shot. There are a ton of great prizes make sure you check it out and enter Your Best Shot. I loved the photo shoot I did of these two brother. They were so adorable together.


I wanted to give everyone an update on Carsyn. He had his speech/feeding evaluation yesterday. She actually thought that he is ahead in those areas compared to his gross motor skills. That is great to hear. We are going to be doing some exercises with his Occupational Therapist, but for right now he does not need speech/feeding therapy. I felt very relieved that he was doing so well. I am hoping he will continue to improve and that he will not need the extra therapy. They are going to give him a bit longer to start saying mama, baba, dada, etc. It would be nice if he could start taking the cup a little bit better, but I am fine with him nursing some and taking a cup some. He has already improved a lot.

We still haven’t heard anything about his equipment but hopefully soon. I am going to apply for SSI on Wednesday. It would be nice to get that extra help. So if you can pray for us on Wednesday I would appreciate it. Thanks! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

    Love the photo - too cute. (so happy to hear the progress on your little man - you are lucky you don't have to go through feeding therapy - it is a rough one!! My son had it for a year when he was 2 years old- oh let me just say it is quite torturous! Speech therapy worked miracles on my little man {he didn't speak until he was almost 3}. Just be the best advocate for your little man - push when no one listens and then push some more!)

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
