Kohen has Discovered Ketchup

With all of Kohen's sensory problems, I have a hard time getting him to eat. He usually loves chicken but for some reason he would not eat it Thursday night. I put about a half teaspoon of ketchup on his tray and dipped a piece of chicken in it. He loved it!!! He ate every piece of chicken on his tray. Of course he smeared the ketchup all over his face and his tray. I didn't care, at least he ate!!!

Just some pictures...

Future TBirds!!

Friday night before the football game we were tailgating. This is Kohen and Kale. He is Josh and Mindy Searcy's little boy. They weigh exactly the same and are almost the same height. By Kohens adjusted age, they are only 2 months apart.

My Climber!!

This boy can get on anything!!! I am just waiting on him to climb out of his bed!!

Finally

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I just got my camera back. It is repaired and ready to go. First things first...Kohen's tooth is fine. We went to the pedodontist to see what she thought about it. She gave me three options: 1. Do nothing, 2. shave off the broken sharp point, or 3. put a white crown on it. She said she could not sedate him because he was to small so he would have to be held down while she did the crown. Thus, she shaved off the sharp point!!! I was very impressed with Dr. Cartillar. She and her staff were great with him. Most people have not even noticed it. I tried to get a picture but to no avail. He wouldn't be still long enough for me to hold his lip and snap the picture.

Other than that we are all fine just busy. Kohen goes to physical therapy twice a week and occupational therapy once a week. He is ALMOST walking. He will stand with no assistance for a long time. Sometimes he will take a step or two but I don't think he realizes he actually walked. His favorite mode of transportation is holding onto one of my fingers. He can run!!!

Our First Major Accident

Except for the whole premature experience, we have not had any major bumps or bruises. Until now. Thursday night marks the date. Kohen was in the bathtub waiting on me to get him out. He was standing up holding onto the side, I reached to get the towel and his feet slid out from under him. His chin hit the side of the bathtub, then his TEETH. He fell over and his eye hit the faucet. Blood went everywhere!!!! I saw his front teeth hit the side of the tub so I knew the blood was coming from his mouth. Much to my amazement I did not panic. I grabbed him and the washcloth. When I finally go him to stop crying I could see his front tooth was about 1/3 gone. I still am not sure where the blood was coming from. He would not let me look. His eye was already starting to swell. (Remember that I am home by myself!!!!!) I called Dr. Stewart. He told me to look to see if the nerve of the tooth was exposed. Thankfully it wasn't. Kohen was acting like his normal self. He even drank some cold milk. I gave him some Tylenol to help him sleep and he did great. Yesterday his eye was purple but nothing else seemed to bother him. We will see a pedodontist next week to look at his tooth. It is really sharp. It chipped diagonally, not straight across. I called mom to come over. She assured me this is the first of many falls and accidents!! Hopefully no more teeth accidents!!!

The flash on my camera quit working so I had to send it back to the manufacturer. Shannon is going to bring hers over today to get a picture of Kohen's tooth.

First Haircut

Today Kohen got his first haircut. It was a total disaster. He would not sit still, tried to pull the cape off, tried to grad the scissors, you name it he did it. We did manage to get his hair cut though. Somehow it is even curlier than before. The picture is a little blurry because he would not be still!!!
