Ok, I know I have neglected updates for 2 weeks now. No specific reason, just lazy and all of us getting over colds. Not much has been going on. Ryan had really good visits with his PT and OT the last few weeks. His trunk is getting stronger and can prop sit close to 30 seconds before tipping over. I don't think his splint is working out that well. His PT and OT both agree and think we need one that will also support his wrist. When he has it on, he can't do much with his hand, he can't grab anything, the splint gets in his way. So we are investigating other options.

Our little guy is now 14 months old. Eating everything in site. Now completely off formula. Drinking about 15 ounces of whole milk a day. Starting to self feed. Graham crackers and animal crackers are favorites. I just bought some veggie puffs and he grabs them with his left hand and shoves in his mouth. Yesterday we make 138 four-ounce jars of food. Everything we make is now on the chunkier side. He can handle bigger bites and can chew soft foods.

Ryan loves his music. Jimmy Buffett is a favorite. Not sure where he gets that! (He loves the Volcano song)

We don't like to let him watch too much tv, but when we have it on, its either Nogin or Sports. 'Jack's Big Music Show' is his favorite. You should see his face light up when the theme music starts.

Tolerating his activity center more and more. He can turn himself around, hit all the musical buttons and put nearly every thing in his mouth. New favorite toys are cups! Yes, we he has tons of toys with all the bells and whistles and he likes to play with cups.

Last week, we went to my cousin Jen's for a much needed hair cut. We let the kids play. What excitement. Madisyn ran circles around Ryan and Aiden. I think I took a hundred pics. Anyway, we are looking forward to another busy week.

I've taken a lot of video I have to edit, but hope to post some this week.

Enjoy the photos.
