All about Jonathan

Jonathan is in the middle of lifting his head!

So much to blog so little time!

Well Jonathan got his new AFO's (braces to help correct his walking) and he didn't mind the braces however it was hard for him to walk with the braces and shoes since the shoes are one size bigger so they are a tad heavy but he is getting used to them and I see a little of an improvement but now we have a problem of the AFO's not fitting so we are waiting for the orthopedists to come out and either fix the area they are making red marks on his foot or he might need new ones!

Jonathan is officially in a big boy bed, no more crib! He likes it for the whooping 20 minutes he is in it but still prefers to sleep right next to grams and papa!On the weekends he is right next to Justin and I and Leah is in her bassinet on the other side, one big happy family!


Jonathan has started swimming and LOVES it, we have taken him off his baclofen and we (therapists incl.) have seen some remarkable stuff he is moving his arms so free. He now waves bye bye with his whole arm. He is reaching and grabbing for things the therapists puts in the pool, hi is in a GREAT mood! It is the best thing to see your child achieve and conquer things he has been trying so hard to do, we are all so proud! He is now saying bubbles and he has been saying hi however he is using it correctly too! When we meet someone or he see his therapist he says hi, its great!



So this past weekend my parents and brother wanted to take Jonathan to the monster truck show my response, yea right way to loud for him even if he wore earmuffs! So we compromised they took him for the pit pass engagement. He looks like he enjoyed by the pictures. My mom says he was laughing and smiling at all the big trucks so I was happy he went to that. My brother says he thinks it was the showgirls in skimpy outfits that he liked, oh boy! So theres our little man all boy for sure! Can't wait till this years fairs for the demolition derbies and truck pulls he did love those too!
