A fun couple weeks

Hey everyone, thanks for checking in! I'm posting some quick little man updates since it's been a few weeks. There seems to always be an endless supply of news as little man makes progress constantly! :)

As a lot of you saw on Facebook last week, Jameson got his hearing aid! We're only using it a few hours a day to start, usually just during play time....but so far he seems to like it. It definitely isn't an overnight change as far as obvious communication changes, but it's a tool towards getting there. We can only continue to try new things to help him and let let him show us how he wants to use it. As you all know, he writes his own story.

Last week also brought some fun new therapy for little man. His therapy team did some exercises to recognize his likes and dislikes. Anything from different smells to varying textures in his hands. We'll get a full report on the information once they're done but he did make some obvious preferences. As far as smell goes, little man likes cinnamon, baby lotion and honey lotion. But he isn't a fan of vicks vapo rub or vanilla!  Interesting!  :)

I had to include the above picture that I took yesterday because I caught him in a moment of sitting without support!  Even if it was only for a few seconds before he realized it and then fell backwards into my arms...it was still an amazing moment to catch on film.

Thanks for stopping by and reading our updates. I'll update again after we see our genetics team at the end of the week. :)
