Update

This has been the best birthday week ever. I think I"m going to like my 26th better than my 25th. I've gotten to spend the whole week with my favorite little man. We haven't done much but we've been together.
Ami took his first header off the porch. He had a pretty good sized goose egg and he has several scratches next to his left eye. (He barely missed scratching his eye.) It barely bled and he is okay now. It was the first of many fights with concrete, and sadly he will loose all of them.
He is getting closer to walking everyday. His last physical therapy appointment went well. He is still on target as long as he is walking by 15 months. We have gotten him shoes to wear to help with walking and he is doing very well with them. He pulls up without any problems and cruises around on everything. He can walk while holding on with one hand, and can stand on his own for about 15 seconds. I don't think he will have any problem walking by 15 months.
He started speech/swallow therapy. He has had 2 visits now. He had one last week and another one today. We didn't get the best news. He is showing signs of distress when he is eating. She wants us to go back to baby food or really soft foods. Things that melt away quickly. No cups that aren't sippy cups. He has very little muscle strength in his tongue or back of his mouth. He is tongue tied, so we have to get that fixed. He is also going to have a swallow study done in the next few weeks. We can't start any kind of treatment until she gets her diagnosis and insurance approves it. It maybe a while before we see the speech therapist again.
He is still just as smart as ever. He knows all kinds of sign language now which is really helping us help him. He is doing well health wise. Hopefully at the end of the month we will start the Synagis treatments. He has 6 teeth, four on top and two on bottom. He says ten words/sounds. He is getting so tall. He is now in 18 month footed sleepers, 12 month onesies and pants, with a 3-6 month waist, and a size 4 shoe. We had a huge blessing a week or so ago. We were given 2 trash bags full of 12-18 month clothes. 
He is a very loved little boy and I am one very lucky momma.
