He is walking among other things!

Wow, times does fly. The week before we went on our AMAZING vacation T started walking. He was successfully taking anywhere between 6-10 steps on his own before either giving up or falling down. I was beyond happy that he decided to start doing this amazing thing called walking before we left. While our vacation was relaxing and soothing for the soul, I could not wait to get back to see how much better the little man was doing.

Grandma S kept T for the week and they bonded so much. He was actually looking for her the day she left. He would look up at me and put his hands up like " Huh, I know someone else was here? " She is missing him equally if not more.

Back from vacation I stepped right back into mommy mode and first thing in the morning T walked from the balcony door all the way to his room! Now he is following me all over the house and it is quit funny to see this little midget monkey walking all over the house. He actually walked with his hands in the air just like monkeys do. It is so cute!

T is trying to talk now and by that I mean actually English. He has been baby talking for weeks now but nothing I understand. I find it amazing to see the wheels turning in his head when I point to the cat and say " cat " a million times or "dog" or whatever he is pointing too. Then he really tried to mimic what I am saying. I does my heart really good to see that he is doing well and that the grade 1 brain bleed doesn't seem to be affecting him. I can remember it like yesterday when the doctor told us about it. My heart sank and all I did was worry about how bad it was going to be in the long run. Being a preemie mom seems to be a licence to worry and with good reason. I always seem to be wondering what will be his big hurdle. ADHD, ADD, Asthma, learning problems and so far nothing except the lazy eye, thank God. But I still worry.

T is also talking back and he has started to take things and hide them from me! While cute and all it is very annoying. I have to keep telling myself that this is a good thing and that it means his brain defiantly working just fine. He also shakes his head no and if I could actually get Blogger to upload a video I would show you but for now you just have to take my word for it.

T is completely on table food and he loves it. Oranges, Chicken, Yogurt, Cheese, Spaghetti, Garlic Bread, any kind of casserole...actually you name it he will eat it! My little baby is becoming a little boy. Thanks to www.wholesometoddlefood.com he will be a healthy little boy and man some day.
