Bear is 18 months old

Ooma, Minnie Mouse, and Bear

Waving "Hi"

Bear will be 18 months old on the 28th!!! We are all very excited to see him doing many new things over the last couple of months. He recently went through his 6 month testing with his therapists and is at the 12 month developmental mark!!! Woohoo!! Bear can now clap his hands, waves hi, says mama, dada, and nods his head for yes and no. He also pulls to a stand, walks along furniture, and walks with us while holding his hands. He understands a couple signs (more, food, all done, and drink) He enjoys music, his siblings, giving many hugs and kisses, and his rice milk.
Bear had his 6 month check up with the Metabolic Doctor last week and he gained 2 inches (24 inches) and 2 pounds (he is now 17 pounds and 13 ounces) since December, so his growth hormones didn't have to be checked. He will have to get the growth hormones checked again this December. He has appt. with the Physiologist next month, who oversees his therapy and if he will continue OT, PT, and Speech. We are very happy with our therapists and are blessed to have PT and Speech and the Early Interventionist come to our home once a week (3 hours in our home per week) and one hour at The Children's Rehab Center for OT. Bear is very loving and a very happy baby, a good sleeper and only cries when he is hungry or tired. We know he is tired also when he rubs his eyes. So sweet!!!
