Things are pretty good around here. Everyone is feeling well, but getting sick of winter. Benjamin is good. This morning we had an occupational therapist to the house from CPRI. She comes every 2 weeks to help Benjamin work on his gross motor skills. Benjamin is definitely a bit behind when it comes to muscle ton and flexiblity. He seems very stiff compared to other babies. Part of it is because he's short and pretty chubby...plus his hernia doesn't help. He can't really grab his toes, but we work on it daily and the OT noticed a difference today. So that was positive. She has given us lots of resources so we are thankful for that. Benjamin has been off all his meds for over a week now and so far so good. I was so nervous to take him off, but am so thankful that he can finally be med free for the first time in his life. We're working on a sleep routine for him. He's finally back into his crib and going to bed around 7:00pm. I really like that time at night to myself when all the kids are in bed...its important. But now we're going to start working on getting him napping in his crib. He seems to have short little power naps through the day, so I really would like him to take longer less frequent naps. We'll get there. He is really starting to love his cereal now and we're going to start veggies in a couple days. We also got Benjamin a new carseat. He has almost outgrown the infant carrier and he hates it... so we switched him to a rear facing big seat and he seems to be happier...Anyways things are well..
