Hi everyone,
We are waiting for Brandon's physical therapist so I thought I would write a quick update. We will be starting swim group on Friday! It is through early intervention and there will be therapists in the pool with us (yup I will be going in the pool with him!). I am so excited for this - we were on a waiting list. Music group is over until September so it is a perfect time for this group to start up. His Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) is happy with the progress he is making with his oral motor program. He is tolerating lots of texture and bigger chunks. She is also working on lip closure around the spoon (instead of taking food off with his teeth). She has brought us lots of cool things to work with such as spoons, bowls, honey bear cups... Music therapy is going well - he does so well with her! I am trying to get it twice a week since this is something that I cannot duplicate and work on with him daily ( I play no instruments and have a horrible voice!)
Brandon is talking a lot. He is really using his tongue and different positions with his mouth. We love hearing the new sounds that he comes out with. Keith and I took him to the aquarium yesterday. We love it there! Mystic aquarium is a half hour from our house. It is nice and dark inside and the tanks are all lit up. He was looking in the shark and the sting ray tank. Were not sure what he is seeing, but his eyes were definitely open and looking. We bought him a really cool star fish at the gift store that is bright orange and has some nice textures on it.
Time for PT!
Here is the new positioner seat that we are finally getting! B is going to sit so much better!
Hanging out in my bumbo seat!
