Arthur: 44 Weeks

It was a weird week.  Arthur's off schedule has resulted in us missing a few group events.  All of our pictures for the week are from the house; a bit boring but that's what we've got.

Likes: Clapping (his new skill!); still all the food; playing with the remote and the xbox (big no-noes)

DislikesBeing barred from the craft room; sleeping and napping (still!); staying in the house for multiple days

Sleeping: We're still in the weeds when it comes to sleeping.  His naps are all over the schedule. He usually takes one nap a day, but I never know when.  Bed times are a struggle. He actually fell asleep Sunday night at 8pm (woohoo!), but there is no actual set time to speak of.

Eating: All the food!  I can usually feed him directly from my plate and I must say that it's great.  I don't have to make a separate meal for him.  And he feeds himself, so I an actually eat while he's eating.

Playing: This past week we've been having fun clapping, rolling a ball, and handing things back and forth.  He's become much more interactive throughout the day.  He also loves loves loves knocking down block towers.

Medical Milestones: 

  • Walking while holding onto our hands -- Sometimes, but not always.  He's still fiercely independent when it comes to attempting to walking.
  • Helping getting dressed -- Check!  He actually figured out how to put his arms through sleeves when I put the shirt over his head.
  • Climbing -- Check! Check! Check! His favorite climbing obstacle is the ottoman.  We have to change things up again.

Schedule: Ha ha!  That's a funny joke!  Right?

Out and About: Last week was a bit slow for activities.  His varied schedule led to some interesting days.  We did make it to the library and Shoreline.  That's about it.  Hopefully this week will be filled with fun activities.
