A little list of accomplishments...

My little boy is just amazing. He has come so far and in honor of him being my favorite person; I have decided to make a list of his recent accomplishments.

1.began walking in March 2010 and began taking steps backwards in May 2010

2.starting to show interest in using a spoon (a huge accomplishment considering his hands and arms don't turn and flex as easily as ours)

3.beginning to say some words. I think we are up to about 7 or 8 words now and he tries to make new sounds daily.

4.when I ask him to sing me a song he (in a very adorable high pitch voice) says DA DA DA (la la la).

5.he will be fitted for braces for his legs next week which will in turn straighten him and improve his balance.

6.CRAYONS! he finally is interested and can mark a paper with out my help.

7.His cast came off last week and he is now applying pressure to his left arm and has stop babying it.

I am sure the list can go on forever but since he is now crying for my attention I shall end it here.

We sure have come a long way.

Speech has been put off...

The evil stomach virus that is going around has bitten my little bug. He woke up Sunday morning covered in vomit. We lounged, snuggled and slept most of the day yesterday.

He went to bed very early last night and never made a peep. I figured the virus must be gone. I went to check on him at 4a.m. and he had gotten sick in the night and never cried out. How sad.

He seems more like himself this morning. He has kept down some pedialite and cereal. I am hoping to get some plain pasta in him after he wakes from his nap.

Sadly, our speech therapy appointment will have to wait for another day. I cant risk getting his therapist sick. I am hoping to get him in sometime again this week.

I need to start him in speech soon. He is now showing some interest in mimicking us. He now sticks out his tongue and blows raspberries. Connor is also now trying to say Elmo and for some random reason Lemonade.

He cracks me up.

Lets hope I can get him a new appointment before the new year.
