Playing with Twister

Nathan loves to play with his dog, Twister. He also likes to climb in Twister's bed and play with Twister's toys. Twister is very patient and kind with Nathan. He will lay still while Nathan pats and grabs him. They are great friends.

ECI Evaluation

ECI (Early Childhood Intervention) came out today to evaluate Nathan to see if he needs any therapy. They concluded from their evaluation that Nathan does not qualify for any therapy at this time. He is at a developmental level of a 10 1/2 month old (his actual age) for everything except speech. He is at a level of a 7 month old (his adjusted age) for speech. They showed me exercises that I can use to work with Nathan on his speech. ECI will evaluate him again in 6 months to make sure he is still on track.

Nathan is crawling!!

I Can Stand in My Crib

"Look what I can do!"

Story Time

Kaitlyn joined us at the library for story time. She and Nathan were buddies in the NICU. It was great to see them finally play together. I think they both had a great time.

Star Wars Exhibit

For Daddy's birthday today, we went to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. We went to see the special Star Wars exhibit. The exhibit combines costumes and props from all six Star Wars movies. They have two hands on labs where you can build your own speeder and robot. My favorite part were all the costumes. I wish we had brought our camera because you are allowed to take photos. I would also recommend getting the audio tour because there was not a lot of signage through out the exhibit.

My First Two Teeth

If you look close enough, you can see my two teeth on the bottom popping up through my gums. (Click on the photo to enlarge it.)

I'm Getting More Mobile

I can get around by rolling, scooting and dragging. Check out my new stunt.

Happy 4th of July!

Nathan enjoyed celebrating his first 4th of July. We had the whole family over for swimming, hamburgers and fireworks. Nathan missed the fireworks because he ran out of energy and had to go to bed. He won't miss them next year.

I Can Sit By Myself
