I hope I can remember it all!
Here's a few pictures of firsts!
We've had a few good changes.
He was blessed in our Church and will be known as Oliver ChuSheng Atwood on the records!
I'm happy to report that Chu doesn't throw food as much. Yay for mommy!
Together Chu and Lydia keep this momma busy. Every time I turn around there's a new mess. These two are partners in crime. ;) AND they are both climbers.
What one doesn't think of the other does. There's lots and lots of giggles at our house.
These two have such a cute little bond now that it's hard to believe the first 3 months they did NOT like each other!
Sometimes, momma feels left out. ;)
Yes, he's that tiny. Those are 12 month Jammie's!
But he is growing.
At our Big November appointment we met with quite a few different doctors.
First he was weighed and measured!
He weighs 21 pounds!
He's 28 inches tall!
(The day we met our boy he was 13 pounds and 25 inches. )
Then, we met with the speech therapist.
I should tell you, we are currently in a language rush. I think Chu is trying his hardest to catch up with Lydia because is he quite a jabber box lately.
Chu is trying so hard to carry on conversations. The problem is, he thinks telling Lydia "no" or tattling on her is a great conversation. Haha... Little stink.
About three times a day I have to say, "Chu, quit telling Meim, No!"
(Chu has shortened Mei Mei (little sister) to meim)
The speech therapist said Chu is doing so good that he does not need speech therapy.
Next, we went to hearing test. He failed again. I'm not worried yet. We will get a more in depth test later.
Finally, it was our big Genetecist appointment. The Genetecist was the nicest, kindest man. I felt like Chu was in capable kind hands.
Chu's official diagnosis is SED dwarfism.
Which didn't surprise us. :)
Chu also had his first thanksgiving.
He approved. :)
And my goodness! Thank you Heavenly Father for this sweet boy...
What a blessing he is!
