9 months already. Well I mean 10 months because it took me so long to finish this post


This post is well over due. Last Friday we went in for our 9 month check up. Connor is a big old whopping 16 pounds.  Since our last post Connor can now sit up independently. He still has a spill occasionally but does such a great job. Now our focus is crawling and and drinking from other than a bottle. Please pray he catches on quickly and I can ditch the bottle around 1. 

We went to see a nuerosurgeon in early May. Connors head is flat in the back and the measurent was slightly over where they prefer so they recommended a helmet. But after prayer, we decided that we would pass on the helmet for several reasons:
1. In Connors case it was cosmetic only
2. We live in Texas and it is hot. My son is already warm blooded and I know he would be miserable. 
3. I would have to be down at the med center every 2 weeks to remeasure
4. The cost when it's debatable on whether it helps. 

We also had confirmation in multiple conversations including our Dr. And the Down syndrome clinic doc. She said she's concerned with "our kids" because the helmet causes there head to drag forward. So that's the scoop. But the last 3 weeks our little guy has been sleeping on his tummy and he seems to sleep so much better. 
Wow! So Connor just turned 10 months yesterday. I started this post a month ago. Here is what we've been up to lately!

Occupational therapy. We love Ms. Julie. She comes in every 2 weeks and does some great things. Like making him work. 

Connors new bestie, Jase, was born and we got to visit in the hospital.
