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.

Let the fun begin...

Connor is officially walking now. I am amazed how fast it happened. He was taking no more than 5-9 steps a few days ago before falling and now I lose count as to how many he is taking. He is so determined. I am more proud of him than I can put into words. He is beating so many odds. I sort of knew he would walk at some point and cant believe it happened so fast.
He is making so much progress in speech as well. We were told he might talk which of course is scary to think that there is a possibility he might not but, he is babbling more and more and making sounds that can be words. He is simply amazing.
He has taught me more in two short years than I have learned in my 32 years here on Earth.
Connor can be a lesson to us all. He is determined, patient, happy and content in any situation he is given. I complain every time I take him to therapy but, he never makes a peep. He smiles, flirts and does what they tell him to do.
I am more than honored to travel on this road of life with him and thank God every day that he chose Eric and I to be his parents and learn from him.
Connor is my heart.
Let the fun of a walking toddler begin...
