Journaling about my kids (plural- wow!) for me; updates on our life for our wide circle of loved ones is for, well, our loved ones; sharing about life with a spunky toddler and the emotional highs and lows of having a wonderful baby with Down Syndrome is for anyone who might be on a similar journey.

Almost 19 months

Its easy to get caught up in thinking about the areas in which Liam has some delays, especially watching younger ones advance past him in certain areas of development. We recently had a six month evaluation by our team of therapists and while lagging a bit in gross and fine motor areas, in the cognitive and social areas he is zooming ahead! I feel like writing a tally of all the FABULOUS things our little Liam can do now at almost 19 months.
Starting to point to things.
Cruising along the furniture.
Standing on his own a few seconds without holding anything.
Laughing and playing with his sister.
Swiping flash cards on the iPad.
Doing the hand movements to itsy bitsy spider, twinkle twinkle little star, buenos dias, round and round the garden, and a little bit of wheels on the bus and our bumble bee song.
Waves bye bye, high fives, blows kisses, hugs.
Touches his head, toes, belly, ears when asked.
He dances.
Loves books and turning the pages.
Loves playing with cars and trucks, can even make one zoom forward after pulling back on it.
Says "up".
Signs "eat" and "more".
Is beginning to use a cup to drink and spoon to eat, with a little help.
Can throw a tantrum.
