Miracles!

We see so many miracles with Timothy! My mom has especially enjoyed having him live with her because she has gotten to experience the miracles first hand. She had a baby brother when she was 5 named Jaimie who had spina bifida. He died of hydrocephalus when he was nine months old. Timothy just hit his 9 month mark on December 5th! The week before, he gave us this surprise:

He is such a strong little man! He is using mostly upper body strength but he definitely is moving those legs! He has surprised everyone: KOTM, The spina Bifida clinic, his Physical Therapist, his Grandpa! Everyone is starting to see that Timothy is determined enough to accomplish anything once he puts his mind to it! Especially if it involves stealing fox from Angelo!

Here are some more pictures of his progress.

 Kids on the Move encourages using a ball pit to help his develop core strength. So we bought our own little ball pit for him to play in. He started crawling very quickly after that.

 Angelo is so funny with Timothy: he adores him now that Timothy throws him food from his high chair! He will bring Timothy his dog toys and drop them in his lap! And guess what Timothy does with them? EWWWW! I really have to watch those two together!

   Timothy has also started talking a little! He started by saying "MMMM!!" for "more", then he started calling me, very consistently using the same name: "Em!" After a couple weeks of that, he converted "Em" into "Mama," and "MMMM!" into "MMMooowah!" He is trying to say Dada: but it comes out "Baba". He can say "Eya," but hasn't associated it with Evelyn's name yet because we call her Evelyn too much.
