Over due Update

I do apologize... I thought I had updated no tthat long ago..

Let's see.. Benji went to the Cardiologist at the end of November. He was not very cooperative. The valve only showed little change so we are still waiting. That is good. I just don't like waiting even if it's good. :)

In December he got his braces and he does very well with them. He wears them nearly full time. And his walking has improved greatly. He's not nearly as clumsy as he was. He does still fall when running but we think he is just getting ahead of himslef.

He had his IFSP this past week. Things will conitune with 2 visits a month and we are going to start working on sensory things. He chews alot and is very picky about foods here lately. He's also refusing to talk. Although, we went to Nana and Papa's yesterday and when I told him the wood stove was hot he said Hhhhhooot. A stretched out version of hot. He also told Papa bye bye. The little angel will just talk when he wants to.

The sensory thing is he still don't like you messing with his hands and he puts everything in his mouth. He licks things and chews things. He will even fight Nana's dog for the chew toy. It's humourus except that due to his chewing we are going to have to actually purchase a toddler bed for him unless we can come up with something. I need to get the ball pit out for him. He loves it plus it helps with the sensory need for input.
