Hi Stephanie!!!! I miss seeing your vlogs! I am so glad that you are having Lex a Speech Therapy I know you guys have been waiting a really long time for this. I am so happy for you and Lonnie.
Congats on getting the evaluation.. finally!!! And please get some sleep. Baby and the mommy is important thing right now. And lonnie, congrats on the promotion!!!
My boy, who is 2 1\2 years old and only has a couple functional words and just babbles like my 12 month old baby. This has been a help to me and am now a new subscriber to follow Lex's speech journey. Thank you!
If your kiddo is having any kind of speech delay early intervention is such a great thing! It can't hurt and why not take advantage of any help you can? Congratulations on the newest baby that's fantastic!
Hi Stephanie! I just wanted to say that I adore your videos and family. Currently, I’m in school for early childhood education and wanted to become a teacher. From watching your videos and seeing the importance of early intervention and how much of an impact therapy can have on younger children, I’ve decided to become a developmental therapist. Child development has also been of interest to me, but to see the positive interactions between your kiddos and their therapists has inspired me to want to help support children developmentally. Thank you for sharing your life and making so many educational videos on autism; you’re changing lives 💕💕
My 7 month old still has acid reflux :/ I recently started adding ThickIt to her bottles to thicken it up and make it a little easier for her to keep down. It's working great! It's available pretty much anywhere with a pharmacy/medicine section. It may be worth a try for little Liam!
Girl don't stress the whole talking thing to much. My youngest was a super late talker. I worried until the doc told me "why would he talk if every1 talks for him" it made sense after that. Good Luck tho. I love ur fam♡
My siblings and I all had reflux because we were allergic to dairy. It stopped when we were switched to soy. Not sure if you're breastfeeding, but I hope the reflux stops soon. I have GERD as an adult and one of the things I have to do is sit up for at least an hour after eating. That may help if you can feed him sitting up and keep him up for some time after he finishes eating. Sending you all love
My almost 3 year old has a genetic abnormality, Cerebral Palsy, Autism, SPD, developmental delays, and speech delays. Speech, PT, and OT have done wonders for her since she started at 9 months old. Wishing 8 months she went from 5 words to almost 200, with 250 being the amount required for a 3 year old. Our 8 month old has the same genetic condition and I’m 17 weeks pregnant and this baby also has it thanks to our amnio. He’ll do amazing with all of the help he receives!
I think Lex is a pretty cool kid. He is very a very happy and funny toddler. Words. I understand he's nonverbal, but in most cases it isn't always necessary say a lot. Lex's actions in the last videos spoke louder than words could have. For Lex's speech therapy, I am very proud of him.
I would occasionally put some Farax cereal in my son's bottle with the formula to thicken it but, you can also get thickened formulas to help with Reflux. You can also get Toddler Reflux medicine now as well at the Pharmacy.
My oldest had hip dysplasia, he wore a harness (not metal, it was like hard canvas), for the first 6 months 24/7, the doctors caught it immediately. Thankfully he's had no issues, hes 12 now.
I agree with you when i was born i was born deaf so it took a while for me to get my hearing back and i cant tell you how much it has helped now all i do is talk all day and im 17 and i was 7 months old when i got my hearing fix but when he does get to talk more its going to take a while for him to get use to talking i hope it really helps him like it did me
Love your family :) we live in st augustine I would love ti meet you guys my son will be 3 next week and has autism as well and loves watching you guys!
I'm so glad to hear the good news and congrats on the pregnancy hope you have a girl but I'd be good either way as long as you have a healthy and happy child. Love you and your family 😘😘
I strongly suggest you move to Onondaga County New York as I have several friends living there who have children on varying parts of the spectrum where they have found lots of services which were very easy to get at and are almost completely financially covered by insurance, etc. It is also cheaper than Boston.
you are child is so precious you are a super dupper mom. I am new to this as my 3rd is child 2years old and not saying a word. but he makes a few different sounds , does that mean he is non-verbal
my almost 3 year old is on the waiting list for occupational therapy i just cancelled speech cause my son is doing so much better with talking. i'm waiting on getting him dinosed i think he has sensory disorder for sure, but i would like to know if he is autistic or what as a mother i just want too know. he has always been delayed unfortunately and all of this has truly help me by watching your videos on just coming to terms with everything. it is truly heart breaking to know you can't help your child because they are having a fit and all you can do is just hold them through it. thank you so much for these video's.
My sister didn't talk until she was three and half, at least not in a way we could understand, her speech was super fast or just huhs and ahs and she made up words as she wanted - God potty training was a nightmare because she wasn't telling us she have to go to potty and now she never shuts up until she sleeps ^^ I am sure Lex will start to talk and never stop nagging
Omg Lex is just so cute! I love his hair! I waited forever to cut my sons hair cause it was curly too! Liam's red hair is adorable, I think Lex looks like he has red hair too. My son's Autism evaluation is on Wednesday. He has the same Mickey shirt Lex is wearing.
I apologize if this has been mentioned but I saw you mentioned reflux and noticed baby’s open mouth posture. Has he ever been assessed for or told he has a tongue tie? That’s a HUGE indicator when kids have “reflux” when often the issues are due to tongue tie. Since he’s still young, getting it clipped would reduce open mouth posture and hopefully his reflux! Check out IAOFM for preferred providers (ENTs, Dentists) specialized in tongue tie.
Would you happend to have any tips for my Husband Tom and i about Autsim we have three kids i have an older doughter name Joel she is 15 in a half and chase is my other older son he is 14 and then sammy is what we think he is nonverbal and has autsim but we can tell that is maybe nonverbal and might have autsim i mean he just turnd 10 yearld old on this sunday on fathers day. I just thought maybe you might have some tips for me?
I missed you yesterday on younow.... I think all this editing videos, facebook, storenvy and blogging is 2 full time jobs! Congrats Lonnie! OH, plus I started younow except I am so computer dummy I can't figure out how to do it! No, on my chromebook it doesn't show guest button so no laughing at me! LOL Ok, maybe you can laugh a little... Hope you got sum rest and have a great day! Hugs from #AutismRockz Family
My daughter Still has reflux at 9 months but it’s pretty much gone since I put oatmeal in her bottles.. if I do straight formula she’ll spit twice the bottle
Amber Marie Adding oatmeal to formula is dangerous... Messes up the constitution of the milk formula...I switched to Enfamil AR when my son was diagnosed with infant reflux
My 27 month old got ranked below the first percentile at his speech eval 2 months ago. I found this lady that runs the CHERAB foudantion for apraxia, autism, speech disorders, & late talkers. She swears by the omega 3-6-9 fish oils and has helped start a non profit to to research it's benefits associated with speech. Anyhow, I was skeptical, but our pediatrician said it was safe to try. Within the first 2 weeks of being on it her gained 50 new words and now 2 months later he's singing songs and using 3-4 word sentences. It might be worth looking into for Lex and even Noah. I don't like pushing people to do things though, so definitely do your own research. But it definitely helped us more than I could've imagined. Ohhh..and reflux with the little ones is no fun :/ my little guy had it bad until he started eating solids regularly. Hopefully it'll end for Liam soon.
My Son who is now 15yrs had his acid reflux until he was 1yr old and then I still had to watch what he ate. Though at 1 he absolutely loved Banana Custard which you think would have bought on the reflux but, I think by the age of 1 he had pretty much grown out of it. He also had pretty much given up bottles by the age of 1 and drunk a lot of milk and water as well out of a cup. The projectile spitting up was pretty bad when he was a bub and it used to take him about 2hrs just to drink 1 bottle and by the time he was finished one feed he was ready for another one. I had to also sleep him on his tummy as with the reflux that was the only way that he would settle through the day after a feed. I had to keep a very close eye on him. The medication Called Infants Friend did help slightly. Reflux babies are so hard and can scream in pain and the only thing that would help sometimes was a warm bath at 1am in the morning. I hope that his Reflux is not too bad.
My daughter didn't talk til she was three. The reason was cause it was easier to communicate through body language cause nobody understood her when she tried to use words.
Some people grow out of acid reflux but I know some people that have had it all their life 😊 So nothing to tell if Liam will grow out of it or not 😊😀😁❤️
Woo, I told you last week I was worried about being pregnant also, thank goodness I'm not. But we too have a speech therapist coming to our house in 45 minutes to help with our two year old who also is very delayed. :)
You are lovely, but I prefer you in brighter shades of lipstick -- I think this shade is so neutral that it's hard to see. Your engagement ring set is so pretty. And, finally, what does landing crew mean? Did I miss that sometime ago?
Noah is so precious. His hair being short makes him look way younger!

Ashley this is a little late but omg what a great idea, is it safe for babies!!
E Yes! Totally safe! My pediatrician recommended it! ☺️
Congratulations lonnie

i bet you get this all the time but Lex has the most beautiful curly curls on his head
So glad you're finally getting some help with you're kiddos
Keep up the good work Stephanie. Keep on keeping on
So happy he did good he even signs help that’s really really smart

Babies can teach us a great deal about themselves. That is what Vincentville said to me.

Congrats on the promotion!
My reflux baby didn't lessen with spitting up until 8 months and by 10 he was pretty much done spitting up.
What’s that little bike thingy led was riding in on 6:30 i want one for my son!!
Lex is adorable
Love your family :) we live in st augustine I would love ti meet you guys my son will be 3 next week and has autism as well and loves watching you guys!
When he gets the therapy twice a week does it get covered by most insurances? Such as Medicaid or medical?
I'm so glad to hear the good news and congrats on the pregnancy hope you have a girl but I'd be good either way as long as you have a healthy and happy child. Love you and your family 😘😘

Congratulations Lonnie ! 🎉🎉👍👍
I'm so happy for you whether you have accepted it yet or not, congratulations! Your kids are the cutest💓
also i relate to Noah being scared of scary movies but still wanting to watch them lol
My baby had reflux for 5ish months. They can have it up to a year sometimes, but most babies outgrow it by 6 months
Girl I just love you so much lol. You’re such a great mom
My sister didn't talk until she was three and half, at least not in a way we could understand, her speech was super fast or just huhs and ahs and she made up words as she wanted - God potty training was a nightmare because she wasn't telling us she have to go to potty and now she never shuts up until she sleeps ^^ I am sure Lex will start to talk and never stop nagging

Our LANDing Crew oh ok! Great! So then most likely still reflux. Poor guy, such a tough situation.
What toy was Alexander riding on that moved on its own?
Congrats to him on the promotion! & go pro lol 🤗😊
Love your videos!!! ❤️❤️

Acid reflux can be life long. There will be diet things you’ll need to take into consideration if it last into solid food.
I missed you yesterday on younow.... I think all this editing videos, facebook, storenvy and blogging is 2 full time jobs! Congrats Lonnie!

My 2 boys had Reflux, it went away on it's own by around 6-8 months. Right around when they started sitting up and moving around better actually lOL
That's what my doctor said too, that once they become more active on their own, it goes away!
It is interesting to see all of these different sides of autism from what I had, and the people that I have worked with.
Liam may have a milk protein allergy if he's having reflux! Glad you got some good news with Lex! Keep being awesome mama!
My daughter Still has reflux at 9 months but it’s pretty much gone since I put oatmeal in her bottles.. if I do straight formula she’ll spit twice the bottle
Amber Marie Adding oatmeal to formula is dangerous... Messes up the constitution of the milk formula...I switched to Enfamil AR when my son was diagnosed with infant reflux
ThePauleeny her doctor actually recommended me do that, and it’s been working tremendously.. but thanks I didn’t know that

Oh yeah, and congrats on baby #6! You're such a good momma!
Hey i know this has been a while. But what is the dose that you gave your child and how often?
My Son who is now 15yrs had his acid reflux until he was 1yr old and then I still had to watch what he ate. Though at 1 he absolutely loved Banana Custard which you think would have bought on the reflux but, I think by the age of 1 he had pretty much grown out of it. He also had pretty much given up bottles by the age of 1 and drunk a lot of milk and water as well out of a cup.
The projectile spitting up was pretty bad when he was a bub and it used to take him about 2hrs just to drink 1 bottle and by the time he was finished one feed he was ready for another one.
I had to also sleep him on his tummy as with the reflux that was the only way that he would settle through the day after a feed. I had to keep a very close eye on him.
The medication Called Infants Friend did help slightly.
Reflux babies are so hard and can scream in pain and the only thing that would help sometimes was a warm bath at 1am in the morning.
I hope that his Reflux is not too bad.
My daughter didn't talk til she was three. The reason was cause it was easier to communicate through body language cause nobody understood her when she tried to use words.
My son is the same way will only say a few words 😕
Awww don't joke about divorce. Bad mojo. I'm glad there isn't a huge worry about your little one's speech.
YAY
hi 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Nolan,which horror movie are watching, I love horror movies
Some people grow out of acid reflux but I know some people that have had it all their life 😊
So nothing to tell if Liam will grow out of it or not 😊😀😁❤️
Overload of cuteNess!!!!!!!look you do what you can ... An trolls can keep on trolling haha :8
Woo, I told you last week I was worried about being pregnant also, thank goodness I'm not. But we too have a speech therapist coming to our house in 45 minutes to help with our two year old who also is very delayed. :)
How did the therapy go?
Stephanie, please read your messages on Facebook
You are lovely, but I prefer you in brighter shades of lipstick -- I think this shade is so neutral that it's hard to see. Your engagement ring set is so pretty. And, finally, what does landing crew mean? Did I miss that sometime ago?
My grandson was born with acid reflux.
Eeeeee! A go pro? So your vlogs will be like FatheringAutism videos?
So cute #first
I’m not trying to be rude but when are you going to stop using months like at some point your going to be like My kid is 122 months old and you??
