Jonathan is doing great with horse therapy his legs are very loose which is helping with his walking, his head control is still loose however both p.t and o.t and of course us have noticed when his head falls he does control it to bring it back up! He hates wearing his helmet so usually halfway through its off his head and he is so happy.
I had my big 30 which my husband did a fantastic job at planning, it was on the fourth so we had a great firework display too. Jonathan was is a great mood the whole day he is now getting another molar so he has been a little pukey and whiny.
Jonathan is getting a walker I am so thrilled about this. He has been "walking" with our help of holding his upper half for a good while so our p.t has insisted on getting him a Kid Walker I seen it a couple weeks ago and it is so cool! The wheels light up and it fits Jonathan pretty good he might have to grow another inch but since it takes 3 months to get it we mine as well get it now plus our p.t is going to let us borrow one for the time being. Jonathan has been getting around the house by using his feet he plants them on the floor and pushes off he is getting really good at this we leave him for a minute and he is in a completely new area. He also is rolling not all the time but doing better then he has he hates being on his belly so if you hear him cry you usually know he ended up on his belly!
We just ordered Jonathans glasses he looks like a little professor and they will be here in about 2 weeks. He continues to do really good at responding, we ask him if he wants water he opens his mouth and he is taking it by sippy cup, we ask him what a doggy does and he sticks out his tongue and pants like a dog (that is what his new speech therapist taught him) he is now saying "hi" when HE wants to but does do it for the therapists and of course new girls he meets(my little flirt)! We are now starting to go to a new speech therapist she is great, we are going to work on switches for him and practice more speech he will mimic what the therapist is saying ex. she will say bu bu bubbles then proceed to blow bubbles which is one of his favorite things in the world and then you see Jonathan put his lips together like trying to do this and using the switches has actually been proven to want kids that are going to be verbal use their voice sooner, I don't know but he says hi and we only used a switch a handful of times!
Check out this picture of Jonathans hair, its getting out of control people will ask if we cut his hair like this, uh no its a natural mohawk!
About the baby, I am still pregnant and showing, the diabetes is killing me but oh well. We went in for our 18 week survey and all measurements were great actually the baby is weighing 9oz thats the 70th percentile yippee!! Oh for any of you that want to know the sex I will say in my next post in a few days don't you just love suspense!

He looks so happy! What a cutie pie! I can't wait to see the walker. We've been talking about getting Carver one. I seen a Rifton one that had some trunk control. We're going to try one tomorrow. If it works, we're going to start looking for funding.
