My little guy is such a wonderful addition to our family. It seems like everyday is a new adventure!! In the past couple of weeks he's started to jibber jabber, sit up with help, rolls completely over all by himself, and pushes himself up.
The doc said that Colton should be sitting up all by himself by now. Not the words I wanted to hear. Then he went on to say that he still believes Colton could have had a hypoxic brain injury at birth, but we'll just have to wait and see if he can walk and talk. WOW, it just gets better!!! Finally he won't leave Colton's head alone. He proceeds to tell us that Colton might have craniosynotosis, that means that his scull has fused together to early, leaving nowhere for his brain to grow. My poor baby! The only good news he had for us is that he wants us to take him off the oxygen as a trial to see how he does without it. Sounds a little scary to me, but I have to just trust that the doctor knows best.
On a lighter note...
As I was tucking Madison into bed last night, she looked at me so seriously and said, "mom you aren't allowed to have anymore treats, because your getting to fat. You're going to get so big you're going to blow away!!!" Wow you know it's time for a diet when your 4 yr. old compares you to an air balloon...LOL! No more treats for me!!! :)
