Happy 22 Months Leo!
Happy 22 months to my sweet little Leo! Sorry for the late post Leo! Leo weighs in at 24.6lbs and stretches about 33 inches tall! He is getting so strong everyday and just a week ago he was able to pull himself up to stand and even cruised a few steps!! He also can now give kisses, which is most him opening his mouth and sticking his tongue on your face, but I’ll take his kisses all day any day! He doesn’t do it every time I ask but he does most of the time!! He still isn’t eating solids yet but he recently had a feeding evaluation and it was very informative and promising. He’s going to get a feeding specialist on top of his usual OT and in the meantime, I’m going to try to put about 10% of purée pears, or any subtle flavoring foods into his pediasure, using any-cut (or x-cut) nipple and see how he does. This will slowly introduce food to him in a familiar setting (in his bottle) so that he doesn’t aggressively turn it way before even trying it. I hope it works!!! He has grabbed pieces of bananas and licked it though, so that is progress!! Leo can give high fives almost every time you ask him now and I feel like he’s starting to try to talk! Whenever I change his diaper, I’ll give him a toy to play with to distract him so that he’s not squirming around and I swear he said thank you! My friends say they heard him say thank you at other times too so I’m not making it up in my head haha! I think he sees his bottle and tries to say “bottle” too! He is growing and developing and making amazing progress! I cannot be more proud of my little prince Leo!! We also got a swing for him that hangs in the backyard and he loves it!! It melts my heart when he smiles and laugh from pure joy! I love you Leo, you’re my inspiration!!
Enjoy these fun videos of the kiddoes!
