He is still pretty far behind but that is ok.
He is finally staying awake longer. Up at 7:30 am....naptime at noon and he will sleep till 2-3pm then bedtime between 7:30-8pm.
He has developed some sensory issues. He hate swinging motions and loud noised. When he hears another baby cry, he starts freaking out and crying and will cover his ears. Certain commercials will scare him and he will fall flat on the floor and cry.
I ordered a sensory brush. His OT says that his nerves aren't sending the right signals to the brain so stimulating the nerves with a brush will help.
I ordered him the Signing Time DVD. I don't know where he will be at speech wise so I am pushing the sign language on him. He can understand, to some extent:
eat, milk,juice,bath,mama,grandpa,play,all done, more. He can only sign the word...eat...so far.
He still doesn't know his name when we call to him.
The other day I seen him standing and he let go. yeah he was standing on his own for a few minutes. He is getting brave.
He is finally learning that walking is fun. He is walking around stuff a lot more.
He has been very healthy.

October 2009
He is now 21 months old.............
Well, we gave the walker a chance for a couple weeks. His phyical therapist let us borrow it. He isn't a big fan of it so we returned it and will try again later.
He loves to look out the back door and the only way he could get to it was getting up in the walker. haha I had to get clever.
He hated that thing.
Since this picture was taken ,about 4 weeks ago, He has greatly improved on his walking skills this past week. He walks along the walls, around the table, around the couch and he will even walk when I hold just one hand. Yes, he is very wabble walking with holding only one of my hands but at least he won't sit down on me anymore.
He is walking up the stairs holding onto the railing. I have to give him a little help cause he just doesn't have the leg strengh yet. He also is learning to walk down the stairs. He tries but needs lots of help.
Fun Run 2009
What a fun day we had. This was an event for the special needs kids. We entered Shawn in the 3/4 mile run. He is ready to go. I bet he would of crawled the whole way if I would of let him.
Shawn and me aka grandma
On your Marks...Get Set....Go Shawn Go
When we crossed the finish line, everyone got a prize. He got a big ball

Of course we put him in a stroller. He sat back and enjoyed the ride.
Here he is with his mom and her boyfriend. Since mom has MD she didn't walk the whole way with us. She took a shortcut.
