6 Months Old

Today Elijah is 6 months old! Time is so strange. It's hard to believe our baby is 6 months old already, yet it feels like we've been through soooo much in that time and that February 20th was eons ago. We are so proud of our little man. He's been through a lot and he is such an amazing boy.

Update on medical: I'll be heading back to work on September 10th, so it is my mission to get Elijah as far along as possible in gross motor development before he goes to daycare. He has finally started to lift his head off the floor, but only for a few seconds at a time. We'll take that! It's progress. He still isn't rolling over, but he is close. His sitting is getting much better (with support from us) and his head doesn't bobble around hardly at all anymore. We have an appointment with an orthotist to get a consultation on the plagiocephaly. I'm anxious to get the helmet on him (so we can get it off!) if that's the route we have to go. Next week is his 6-mo. check, and the following week is his cardiology check, and in between there are physical therapy appointments and lots of physical therapy with Mommy and Daddy at home. He's still pretty squeaky when he breathes, but who knows where that is coming from (all these specialists don't!).


Look! Head is off the ground!
