Growing by Leaps and Bounds

Ian continues to grow stronger and have more engery (lots more) each day. We are slowly taking him out more and more as we have hit our three month mark. We went to the library for the first time this past week and he was thrilled. We checked out new books--we have lots of books but alas even I was growing weary of the "usuals". I did wipe all of the books down with lysol first.

We are working each day on strengthening his fine muscles in his hands and arms. Each day he practices writing an upper and lower case letter. Today was letter R. We also go over the sound each letter makes and things that start with that letter and he is grasping it very well. He continues to improve with the control of the pencil each day.

Labs last week were pretty good. He selected "this arm" and held it still for the lab tech. I took a picture of the bandaid that he wanted off and then didn't want off.

He can squirt each of the meds into his mouth by himself now and does it without squeaking and fussing. Compared to where we were even a month or three months ago, this is huge!

He is into Easter and hunting eggs which I hide for him 5 times a day--that is my personal limit. He is a joy to watch find them! We are thrilled by his progress and that he is indeed growing by leaps and bounds!
