14 Months

Filed Under: Family Tagged With: milestone

My sweet baby boy is 14 months old. I can not believe it. It has gone by so quickly. I love him so much.

He now has 5 teeth- 3 on bottom and 2 on top. I think he will be getting 2 more on top soon. I love his sweet smile. I think his teeth make him look a lot older. Not like such a baby anymore. boo hoo hoo.

I did get some good news today. The insurance company will cover both the stroller and the stander. There is still the negotiation process between the insurance and the equipment company. Then hopefully there will be little to no cost out of pocket. She said he should have his equipment in the next 2-3 weeks. He is still wearing his AFO {leg braces} while in his loaner stander and wearing his thumb braces. They have helped so much.

He is getting better and better at sitting up. I am so proud of his progress. Maybe next month I will have him sitting up alone on a blanket. That would be nice. I get a little discouraged knowing what he SHOULD be doing, but then I just try and think of all the positives. And how much progress he is making. He truly is amazing! I love him.

I ended up shooting this real quick yesterday and really messed up my settings. So they aren’t the greatest, but he still is cute. The giveaway post for the stickers on his shirt will be up tomorrow.

    he is so cute. glad the insurance company is working with you on this, they can be such tight wads most of the time. having a child with special needs makes you appreciate the milestones even more. It is hard not to compare ages and stages, and you can't help but do it, but just remember he is progressing at his pace and that's what important

    That is EXCELLENT news that the insurance company covered his stuff! Don't you hate that "should" even creeps into our brains about our kids? I love that you are looking at all the progress he has made... he is adorable!!!

    I'm glad everything is working out for his equipment. I have the monthly stickers, but I like the ones continuing past 1 year too! I may have to get some of those.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
