I can't believe it has been six whole months since we've been to Duke for an echo and to see Dr. Delaney. Time flies. I remember back in April, when Dr. Delaney said that Jacob was doing so well, they would not need to see him back for 6 months. He couldn't even detect much of a murmur listening to his chest. Previously, we'd been told we'd be going every 3 months, so that was really good news! Jacob was 8 months old at that point, and I tried to imagine what he would be like in 6 months. I really had no idea!
Here we are now, with our 14.5 month old, and he is so much fun. He can now walk, he talks, he throws & rolls a ball, he can go get Elmo or Pooh, or other toys. He loves light switches and lights. He loves to open & close drawers & doors. He loves to crawl (fast) down our hall! He loves bath time and splashing (and ducks!). He loves to eat, especially any kind of veggie with roasted red pepper hummus on it! He also loves any kind of fruit, grilled cheese, and grilled chicken. And, he loves Fruity Cheerios and Goldfish. He is growing up before our very eyes. He is such a cuddly boy and gives great hugs! He loves his Slugger and his Lambchop puppet and sleeps with both every night. He still takes two naps a day and goes to bed at 7 p.m. He does wake up around 5:30 a.m., but he talks to himself and plays while mommy & daddy sleep another 45 minutes (or try to!). He loves the Wiggles & especially Dorothy (which he calls "Dor-tee") He is truly our little blessing and we love him so. I can't imagine our life before him or without him!
Anyway, I am confident we will have a report of continuing good health on Tuesday! I hope you will be thinking of us and praying for us on that day!
