So the little cutie pie is starting to pull himself up from a sitting position. He is doing an AMAZING job pulling up when holding on to my hands when he is sitting on a stool. It is so wonderful! Each time I am off track I feel like he makes so many gains so I am thrilled than in three more weeks I have 5 weeks off for the summer! We went to the park today to do therapy and we worked on the swings, the slide, and pulling up from a sitting position. If my hands weren't busy trying to distract him I would have taken pictures. He was literally trying to pull himself out of the swing into my arms so I would hold him. After about 5 minutes and lots of stares from other people at the park we moved on. I'll go back with him by myself an try some more. Up until now the swings have been awful fro him because of his trunk control but now that he has more strength he is able to sit and hold on (even though he doesn't like it).
It has been so hot the last couple of days (85+) and J is NOT a hot, hot, hot weather man. He is whining, sweating, chugging ice water (he has never been a water drinker) and looking adorable in just a diaper. The only downside to the last thing is that he knows how to pull off the tabs on his diaper. In fact, he loves his hands all over himself-much like other little boys, I know. This time of year we have a couple of hot days followed by many reasonable days so we hate to turn the AC on before July 4th. This is always our goal but sometimes we fold before!
I sprayed him with ice water from his bottle and he laughed and laughed so I know it felt good. Looks like tomorrow I'll be pulling out the baby pool and tonight we might be doing a luke warm bath.
In a good but sad way, we are giving our kitty cat away. This comes right as our little man is SO interested in him. I swear he tries to meow each time he sees him. If not, then he is making the SAME noise each time which sounds just like "yeow" and I have never heard it before. This has happened multiple times over the last few days. I know our kitty will be going to a better home some day but in the meantime will get lots of attention at the shelter he will go to tomorrow. It is a no-kill shelter which was important to us. We just don't give him the attention, space, and love he needs. I have a very heavy heart but I know it is for the best.
And, he got some extra stylish shoes that he needs for therapy. (I say "stylish" very sarcastically). Bobby says it is his socks that are worse then the actual shoes. Oh well, anything to help our little munchkin!
