Hello everyone! Here's a quick update on the Ricks family...
Tatem is still struggling with his speech but we're continuing to get him help and work with him. Right now, we're working with Primary Children's Rehab to start speech therapy and we have switched helpers through DDI Vantage to see if a different personality works better with him. Other than that, he's our same old busy Tatem. He switched nursery leaders at church and he LOVES his new leaders. He can't wait to leave sacrament meeting to go to nursery and his leaders are so loving and patient with him. We're so grateful to have such good leaders for him, for us nursery is one of the most important callings in the church.
Emerson is getting so big and doing so well. She's a champ at eating her baby food and can sit up all by herself. What's funny is she can sit and roll from her tummy to her back but when she tries to roll back over onto her tummy from her back she just spins in circles so we're working on it! She's just as chatty as Tatem, they might just learn how to talk together. She's an excellent sleeper, kisser and little sister. She makes sure to pester Tatem as much as she can! She touches his toy Mater, she pulls his hair and she splashes him in the tub! Gotta love sisterly love.
Tanner and I are great too! Tanner's still working on school and enjoying his job, and I'm enjoying being with the kiddos and looking into ways to start teaching parenting classes a little bit to have some mommy time, and keep up to date with my degree!
Overall, all is good here at the Ricks home!
Tatem loved Discovery Gateway Children's Museum.
Sorry it's sideways, here's a video of Tatem playing with is favorite thing at Discovery Gateway, it showed how wind works and it was so fun to him!
