Sorensen Family UPDATES!

Okay I know I always say this but life is crazy and I am still adjusting to having 2 kids and the life that comes with it. So I am going to go through and give everyone a little update with some pictures of what has been going on in our lives.

This is Kaden and Conner the little boy I watch during the week.

I have just been up the the usual everyday routine. I started watching a little boy named Conner Monday through Thursday for a little extra cash. I just recently got a calling in Primary at church. It has been a challenge for me but I am really working hard at it. I also am on the Enrichment committee and I help teach and organize cooking classes we have once a month. I really enjoy working in the Relief Society. I also recently caught the Swine Flu and I am just getting over that. That was no fun but I was really lucky to have Kyle who was able to take some time off so I could recover.

Parker and the TOT collar

We had to cast Parkers head to get the helmet just right for his head. So they are cutting of that cast here. NO FUN!

LOL I think this picture speaks for itself!

Casting Parkers head!

This is what they helmet looks like now. Parker is adjusting to it well. He is not sleeping through the night anymore but he does OK.

Parker has been through a lot the past few months. We have been going to Physical Therapy regularly since he was 2 months, he now has a plastic helmet that he has to wear 23 hours a day for the next 3-4 months. He also has what is called a tot collar that is supposed to be irritating him into holding his neck correctly. About 2 weeks ago we were told by the physical therapist that we might have to sedate Parker and give him some botox(I am not sure how to spell it???) shots in the neck to help with the torticollis. I freaked out and since then we started seeing a Chiropractor on top of seeing the physical therapist to see what they can do to help without taking any major step like botox. Some exciting things that he is doing now is he is rolling everywhere and is sitting up without any help now. He is able to pick up food and put it in his mouth! That is always exciting for me when a child can help feed themselves. He is also cooing a ton and experimenting with different noises and sounds. He loves to cuddle and is totally a mama's boy!
