Here's my little guy grabbing toys for the first time! He has been grabbing at clothes for a while, my clothes - or whoever is holding him- his own shirts. I'll give him his new diaper to grab onto while I change him. But toys are going to be our new thing.
The OT (occupational therapist) came yesterday and showed us new exercises and play things to do with him. I had not been wanting to read much about DS, perhaps I was in denial (natural), but also, he is a pretty "normal" baby so far. But I am starting to read and am now realizing that the more intervention, stimulation, therapy done with him now, the better for his development.
So our new vocabulary involves words like hypotonia (low muscle tone). And we will probbaly arrange some cranio sacral therapy soon. Anything we can do to aid his development.
