Great News!

We just received some great news from our insurance company. We were very concerned because Humana only authorized 20 sessions of therapy per year for each individual, and James used them up back in May. We had written a letter of appeal to Humana and had not heard back, so we planned to decrease James' therapy frequency from once a week to once every other week. John spoke to someone from Humana on his way home who said that there are two exceptions to the 20 sessions per year rule: 1) traumatic brain injury, and 2) a dependent child with developmental delay. That means James should not get denied and we can continue with weekly therapy. Praise God!

Galveston

As you can see, we had a great time in Galveston. James spent a lot of time sleeping on the beach (under the canopy, of course). The girls enjoyed digging in the sand and playing in the water. My new favorite picture of James is the one of him lying on his mat on the beach and grinning. He's so cute!

Bathtime, Haircut, and Sitting

James right out of the bathtub. Look at all those rolls on his arms!




















James right before his first haircut. The hairdresser was so nervous about cutting his hair, she dropped the clippers on the floor.




















James right after his first haircut. The hairdresser was impressed with how well he did.
















James poses with Daddy after his haircut.




















Look at me sitting up!

Finally, An Update!

I promise to post a longer update later, but we are still here, and James is doing well. He is prop sitting for short periods of time and rolling all over the place. He loves all kinds of fruit, but he really doesn't care for broccoli and cauliflower. He got his first haircut a few weeks ago, and he looks so much older with his little buzz cut! Last week we rented a beach house in Galveston for a few nights, and James loved the beach. Actually, he loved sleeping on the beach, because every time we took him out there, he fell asleep! It must have been the sounds of the ocean that relaxed him. We will upload all our recent pictures and post them very soon. Stay tuned!
