My Amazing Little Man


Special Thank You to Kevin
who provided the Peruvian hats

Yea for Luke!!!He is pretty much my Little Super Hero! Friday Luke had both of his Peep (Provo Early education Program) appointments. Both his OT and PT came and worked with him and it was really great. Luke had been staying about two months behind developmentally until a couple of months ago when he started to fall farther behind, at one point his gross motor skills were almost 4 months behind. That was really discouraging, crawling just didn't come naturally to our little guy and he had some sensory issues that we were working on. It's been interesting to watch his progress and how discouraging and sad it had been for me at the beginning. I am so grateful that those feelings begin to go away and over time you see it how it really is. That we are so Lucky to have him, every child is different, and he is amazing and doing amazing things. Like I said, He is pretty much My Super Hero:-)

But while I had my surgery my little man did almost a whole month of catching up both in sensory and in gross and fine motor skills. He is crawling, waving, pulling up to kneeling and eating mashed table food. All of which he had not been doing at our last apt. But he seems to do most things this way. Take it easy for a while and then learn a whole bunch of things all at once. It was a really great day, they told me that they didn't think they needed his OT anymore and she would just come on a need basis. So the PT will still come to work with us on his low muscle tone and gave me some great new exercises to help him learn to stand ad increase his sensory.
Yea!!
Oh he also got his first little battle wound. He was trying to pull himself from crawling to kneeling and caught the edge of his eye on the table. This is when it was red but it turned into a great bruise later!

Your Aunt and Uncle are so proud of you Luke. Pretty soon you'll be scooting around the house and getting in everything. We wish we could be closer to you, but we are kept aware of your progress by your mom and dad's blog.

We love you Luke. Give your dad and mom a hug from us and let them know we love them too!

Merry Christmas!

It is so great seeing Luke moving forward. He is such a cute little guy. Glad you are doing better also. I knew you were all talented, but did not know you all had such dancing skills. I actually got on your blog first because last night at dinner your mother told us of the darling Santa outfit that Luke had and I was looking to see it. Post it soon. Love you all, and am so happy you were able to get home safely. Love and kisses.
