This little man turned 17 months while we were in Dallas! I cannot believe how quickly he is growing up!!
- He's moved up to size 3 diapers!
- He weighs about 18 lbs 6oz
- He is now wearing size 9 month clothes and 12 month jammies
- He can entertain himself almost all day! But i love playing with him too.
- He pulls to stand on anything and everything.
- He babbles all day long! I just love his little voice!
- He loves playing with friends! Even if they can't play with him, he likes to get really close to them
- He has tooth number 7 on its way in!
-He chews on his pointer finger a ton
- We had our follow up with nephrology and his lil kidneys are still the same! Next follow up in 6 months.
-We are still working with Kids on the Move; physical therapist 1x a month, occupational therapist 1x a month, developmental specialist 2x a month. He's making GREAT progress! We recently had a re-evaluation with them and in most areas he's at a 10-11 month old range. The area he's behind most in is responsive/expressive communication, he's at a 7 month old level currently. We are really working on naming objects and trying to get him to start mimicking!
- He took a bite of a cracker on his own for the first time ever! HUGE accomplishment for this little boy!
I am so so proud of this little boy. He's come so far since the first day we met him! I love watching him explore and discover new things. Being a stay at home mama with this boy is the best job ever!
Such a handsome boy!! So happy he is doing so great! Ryder is in the same spot as far as developmental delay. His fine motor skills and speech are his biggest set back and he is also in the 8-10 month range. I know that these little ones will take off and catch up in due time but for now it's on their terms! If you think about how hard they had to work to be here and grow big and strong, they are just relaxing for a bit lol! I absolutely love reading your blog so thanks for sharing <3
