Up

Ladies and Gentlemen I think we have a first word out of Isaiah...."Up!" During his therapy sessions Isaiah's therapists usually stack blocks or cups and with each cup that is placed on top of the other we all clearly say "Up....up.....up!" Now every time he stacks something he says "up!" We are now trying to teach him that up can mean more than just stacking cups up, it can mean "up" as in hold me mommy or "up" because I want what's on the counter...etc.

We have also continue to notice Isaiah's improvement with his receptive language. I noticed that I can ask Isaiah if he wants some crackers, or fruit (or whatever snack i'm offering) and he will shake his head no if he doesn't want what I am offering him. Huge step! Either that or he will smile and reach his hand out if he does want what I am offering him. Isaiah is also consistantly waving both hi and bye.

Each little milestone Isaiah makes is so exciting for me right now, and what is even more exciting is that Noah is so interested in Isaiah's therapy sessions that it has to be good for him as well. I'm still thanking the Lord for the health and safety of our family. Even though we face challenges with our two year old I am forever giving thanks that God chose me to be Isaiah's mom, and for Isaiah's good health. I'm also forever thankful for an amazing husband who not only works so hard to support our family but who is an amazing father to our boys.
