Bridger has made tons of progress this year. In 6 months he has made leaps and bounds with his speech and cognitive skills. He has gone from a 6m level to a 16m level with speech and a 8m level to a 18m level with his cognitive skills. It's so exciting! He is saying a few single words, he knows who we are, he signs some words, and he is very good at barking like a dog (although it sure sounds like a monkey...but it's definitely a dog to him!). He is super affectionate and gives lots of "moochie moochies" to his loved ones.
He is starting to pick up on things quicker. Last night he learned how to do "knuckles" with his uncles. He loves to dance and sing while playing the piano. He is a gifted little guy. Whenever we go out he seems to bring a smile to everyone's faces with his own singing, barking, and smiling.
We celebrated a whole year seizure free and being drug free for 6 months. It was a few great achievements. Bridger unfortunately had a fairly violent seizure in December. It was devastating but fortunately he does not appear to have any of the chaotic brain waves nor has he regressed. We are counting our blessings and hoping he continues to do well despite that small hiccup. As parents we plan on him eventually developing different seizures but we hope they will be ones that are easily controlled with regular seizure medications.
In other news we are excited to add a new addition to our family in June! We've felt like for awhile that Bridger and us as parents could really benefit having a new little person in our home. We are crossing our fingers that the baby will be healthy and stay healthy. That's all we can ask for. The odds of the baby having IS is small but there are millions of illnesses out there so healthy, healthy, healthy baby please!
Have a happy new year and a "moochie moochie" from Bridger:)
