Happy 9 month birthday to our sweet Ty baby! This months checkup showed him in the 97th percentile for weight at a strapping 25.4 lbs and 52nd percentile for height at almost 29 inches. This may be why Andrew frequently refers to him as "Morty- the car salesman from Chicago". In gum breaking news for Ty he also showed his first teeth this week - two front, bottom razors - nearly ready to chomp into his first steak now! No crawling yet but some very impressive backwards scooting and teradactal noises to go along.
Jamie started summer school on Monday and for a kid who craves routine, predictability and low-stimulus environments, he is doing amazingly well. He has a little stress about it but still happily runs to haul his backpack into the van each morning and has even told us about a new friend at school...we hope someday to meet the mysterious Malia he is talking about :) but none of us dare show our faces at school yet. With perfect summer weather, the last two evenings had us in the pool before bedtime. The warm water, soft breeze and calm company were the perfect combination to get Jamie and Daddy swimming away "in the big pool" - a great stride forward in comfortability and something he is really proud of himself for. It is so incredible to watch them together.
My title today "Miss Stephanie's NOT going to vacuum!" is a direct (and much repeated) quote from Jamie when told that a nice woman from Regional Center was coming to play recently. It was poignant to me as a glimpse into his world...his worries about who and what are going to happen next and his need to feel some sense of control over it.
Hope things are well in your world and remember...when in doubt, don't vacuum.
