Weekly Update -- 17 - 23 December 2007

Yea, I'm 50 weeks old!

Masinja had his PT followup this week. He's doing really well. He got to see his physical therapist as well as the speech therapist. Both were very impressed with his progress. The speech therapist said that although he is 7 months corrected, he is doing some things at the 8th and 9th month level. She gave him a car to play with and then she tried to hide it from him behind a piece of wood. There was no fooling him though! He just leaned over and pushed the piece of wood out of the way to get to the car. :o)

Masinja will have his acting debut in a few days. He is going to be a lamb in the Christmas pageant at church.

He is also going to celebrate his first Christmas, so he'll get to unwrap his presents and we'll have to take a picture of him under the tree. :o)

That's all for this week.

Peace,
T.M.

Weekly Update -- 10 - 16 December 2007

Yea, I'm 49 weeks old!

This week Masinja was supposed to go to the neurologist, however, his appointment had to be cancelled. We're rescheduling it soon, so more to follow on that.

On the food front, Masinja had been eating veggies and fruit for a few weeks, and doing well. He got to try chicken this week, and he didn't care for it very much. TMM had to mask it with applesauce and peas, so that was a treat in and of itself.

That's all for this week.

Peace,
T.M.

Weekly Update -- 3 - 9 December 2007

Yea, I'm 48 weeks old!

First, I've updated the following posts:

Weekly Update -- 15 - 21 October 2007

Weekly Update -- 22 - 28 October 2007

Weekly Update -- 19 - 25 November 2007

I know I've been slacking on the blog, but it's not on purpose. We're getting ready to move soon, and the house needed to be finished, so unfortunately I've spent way too much time working on the house and not enough time blogging.

Anyway....This week Masinja had Christmas pictures taken! He was a very good ninja, and smiled on command. Doesn't take much more than a squeaky rubber duck, and a cute photographer and he's happy.

That's all for now.

Peace,
T.M.

Weekly Update -- 26 November - 2 December 2007

Yea, I'm 47 weeks old!

Masinja was released from physical therapy this week. His therapist said that he was doing great and had reached all of his goals. He will need to go back in a few weeks for a follow up just to make sure that he is still on track.

He finally got his RSV shot this week, too. He actually got two shots because they had to give him more of the medication since he had gained so much weight! He now weighs 17 lb 10 oz and he is 25.75 in long.

That's all for now.

Peace,

Weekly Update -- 19 - 25 November 2007

Yea, I'm 46 weeks old!

Masinja got to play with one of his new toys for the first time this week. It's a Bumper Jumper that T.M.M.'s cousin got him and he loves it! It's basically a bouncer that hooks to the door frame above the molding. Masinja has always loved to bounce and now he gets to practice his ninja bouncing skills all the time.

Masinja also had his first Turkey day this week. T.M.M. and I made dinner and we spent the day as a family. We are still waiting for Masinja to get his RSV shot. That's how things work in our world though, hurry up and wait!

Here are some pics:

That's all for now.

Yea, I'm 45 weeks old!

Masinja is getting 5cc of phenobarb and is doing well with it. We are still waiting on the RSV shot but hopefully he will be getting that sooner rather than later.

Masinja started talking this week. His first word was 'dada'.

That's all for now.

Peace,
T.M.
