I am pledging to be better about updating this site!
Luke is 22 months old. For those that have not been informed, he has MANY teeth. I can’t tell you how many because I’m too scared to go in there. We stopped breastfeeding around 20+ months. My supply was almost gone and it was just time. At the same time I decided to get rid of the bottle… so now he’s all sippy cup, all the time. Next step is straw drinking (this will help w/ speech- see section on muscle tone). He has had two professional hair cuts which he does not like but I suppose I can say he tolerates (while I hold him). He is WALKING! This is so huge (I’ll explain a bit more about why this is so huge later)!! He’s also signing! We have been showing him signs and a sign language DVD for over a year. Just this past spring we took a sign language class together. When we were in Hawaii in May he waved for the first time which I consider his first sign. Not long after, he was also signing drink and more and food/eat! It’s amazing to be able to communicate with him! Beyond that it gave me a sign (no pun intended) that his little mind was working… and capable of learning. I knew it was…. But it was great to have that reassurance! In August we’re taking a gymnastics class with a friend and then will probably sign up for the sign class again. I believe once he’s 2 he’ll also start speech therapy.
