Good morning,

A week ago Friday, Andrew's glasses went MIA (missing In Action).  Not sure how they disappeared.  His new glasses are on order and should be in within the next week.  For now, Andrew has been squinting a lot.  It is hard to watch him struggle so hard to see.

Last Thursday, Andrew went for a speech evaluation at Northeast Rehab in Salem, NH.  A speech pathologist determined that Andrew should receive speech therapy services starting next week.  In addition, Andrew will also receive PT and OT therapy at Northeast Rehab as soon as the appropriate therapists have openings. 

This morning. Andrew and I worked on his standing.  He was able to stand for 1 second without any support.  That is a great accomplishment for him. 

Lara and I fed Andrew with a sippy cup this morning.  He fought us hard because he is not used to the cup.  However, he was able to drink 3.5 ounces from the cup.  We are going to put all of the bottles away and only have him use a sippy cup.. This is necessary because the speech pathologist feels that Andrew has a better chance of talking once he is off the bottle.

Today we are going to the Stone Zoo.  Maybe we will take few pictures and add them to the web site.

Regards,

Jeff
