Well the evaluation ended up taking a solid 3 hours! On the up side the boy ate a ton of veggie straws, something he has never done but it was an hour past lunch so. . . .
The evaluation covered his gross and fine motor skills but more specifically focused on his speech and oral skills. It was done by 2 UCF grad students and their professor, who has numerous years of experience. We were impressed by their knowledge and how well they were able to get him to interact. At this point we don't know much but will find out more in about three weeks when we receive the report. The main thing we did find out is that he does not have Apraxia. While it's good that he doesn't it is also disappointing because that would've been an answer with steps to take to help "fix" it. Now all we have are more questions and still no diagnosis. It was recommended that he see a developmental pediatrician, so we will now be looking into that. That's really all we know for now. I will update again after we receive the report. Thanks for all the prayers.

Updates
A few good changes around here!
First up, we switched Henry's formula - YAY! A friend recommended one that worked well with her sensitive tummy babies and he is doing great on it. One of the best parts is that it is less than half the cost of the other one! Second with Henry is that he can sit up by himself! Hopefully he will quickly learn to lay down as well :) He is getting quicker at army crawling also.
Now on to Robbie. . . he is starting to try feeding himself with the spoon more and more! The thin purees are quite a mess but he is really improving with the thicker stuff. He is also in the process of learning to stay in bed - not fun. Please keep the prayers going for his speech evaluation.
Life is busy but good!
