Leaps and Bounds

Adan over the past several weeks has made remarkable improvements. A little over two months ago he could not sit up by himself and now he close to walking! As far as the Physical Therapy is concerned he is on track with the exception of using his “pincher grasp”. The next step for him will be to walk (he just started to stand on his own a couple weeks ago) and he is close because he can walk with a walking toy.

We are still working on the eating and sensory issues that we are having. Adan is getting much better with eating different textures, and he can also eat some toddler foods now. We are almost completely off the bottle now (only one when he first wakes up) and he loves almond milk, juices, and water. I have found that he even loves the little snack packs (the pudding ones) and I will let him eat one of those every other day for a treat. Having a child that is Gluten free is not that challenging and I am glad that I am sticking with it and creating healthy eating habits for him.

Adan is trying to talk more and we are going to enroll him in additional Speech Therapy, Occupational, and ABA Therapy. He will get some from his early intervention from “Babies Can’t Wait” but also from some other sources too. We feel that it would be best to be as proactive as possible with the therapies. We also believe that it would be in Adan’s best interest that if he received as much as possible because it will not hurt him and if anything it will help him get further ahead of the game.

Overall, we are so pleased with Adan’s improvements and look forward to watching him grow and change every day He is still our little sunshine and the greatest blessing in our life. We are so thankful for him and all the things he teaches us every day.
