Playing Catch

Jonah has figured out how to catch a ball. Monday during therapy we were playing with his ball and he put his hands out and caught it. Today he was playing with my dad and I and just kept catching it. He thought that was pretty cool stuff.

Crawling!

Jonah decided to do a little army crawl early this afternoon before his nap.  After his nap, he decided to do a little full fledged crawling.  He isn't going super far but he is really starting to get the hang of it.  He is going a couple feet at a time and has gone a little further before as well.

More Progress!

Jonah has been making a lot of great progress in the last few weeks.  He is starting to sit up on his own from his back and he figured out how to pull himself up in his crib.  Also, he is able to get into the crawling position from his belly and while sitting up.  He is walking nonstop in his pony walker (see previous post).  Finally, he is sleeping better and I am hoping to get him sleeping through the night this summer.  Thanks for your continued prayers; we are so blessed that Jonah is doing so well!

New Walker

Jonah got a new walker to help with his therapy.  It is called a pony walker and has a running pony on the bottom; Jarrett loves that!  Jonah is loving being able to walk around by himself.  Jarrett spent just about all day Saturday outside with him walking the streets around our house.  He is making up for a lot of lost time on his feet.  He is starting to get more balance on his own and we are actually able to walk him around one-handed now too.  His new walker is similar to an infant walker but is more age appropriate for an almost 2 year old.  He can still sit down when he is tired and he is strapped in by velcro in the back.

Having dinner at the Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney

Jonah wasn't overly thrilled with the water at the beach, I think it was too cold for him. He also wasn't super excited about the sand initially as well but after trying a bite and putting his hand in it a bit, he really started playing in it. He liked walking on the beach and in the wet sand where the water came up a little bit. He definitely didn't like it when the waves splashed up on his legs.

Playing in the pool at Papa and Gramma's

Papa was showing Jonah his impression of a monkey and Jonah didn't quite know what to think of it. We spent a day at the Central Florida Zoo in Sanford and Jonah loved it.

EEG Update

Jonah's EEG came back normal which is a great blessing. However, that leads us to believe that his sleep problems are a behavior related. I guess we are going to have to get mean! Once they took the electrodes off and washed the glue out Jonah's hair was still pretty sticky and crazy. We waited almost an hour after they took everything off to be released. Luckily, there was a great toy room on our floor that we could explore to kill some time. Jonah loved playing in the car. Jonah and all the electrodes before they took them off. He had glue stuck in his hair for days, I finally had to cut several pieces out of his hair. Despite everything, he was a real trooper.
