Yesterday was an amazing day for Daven. He had two GREAT therapy sessions while learning lots of new tricks. He actually signed “MORE!” We have been working on this sign language since March. So to finally see that he is grasping the concept of sign language is amazing! He also walked about 6 feet holding on with only one hand. He stood by himself for 4 seconds. I could go on and on. He had one of the best days that he has had in a very long time! Development is really starting to progress and I am anxious to see more and more changes. I am also so very proud of him. He has been working hard with little to no fuss. He is starting to grow up and be such a big boy. The baby years are almost over. If we could only get the eating under control, he would officially be a BIG BOY!

Daven and I both called in sick on Tuesday. We decided it was a perfect day to play hooky. We just hung out in our jammies, played, sung, and cuddled all day long. It was such a great day to make a “connection” with my son all over again. Every now and then I have to remind myself why being a mother is so fun. It might sound horrible for me to say, but I get so wrapped up in work and just the every day life…that sometimes I don’t stop myself to actually enjoy motherhood. But, Tuesday…I was reminded! Here we are enjoying the day together. Yes, this is me trying to take more self-portraits. HA! Keep in mind I had to take about 10 of these pictures to get one that was half way decent. HA!

Daven has also mastered the art of “buttons.” He has learned to crawl to the entertainment center, open the doors, and push the button on Logan’s Xbox. He knows that by pushing this button, it will open and close…open and close…open and close. (You get the picture!) I have watched him do this for a full 10 minutes. So funny! Logan finally ended up unplugging the Xbox. It is now only a matter of time before he learns to do that on the DVD player. Sigh. I have to say, I love every second of it. So fun to watch!

Friday is finally here! I made it though the week without any jury duty. Except for Tuesday when I called in sick. I was supposed to have jury duty that day…but completely forgot! Opps! They are probably making out the warrant for my arrest as I type. If you don’t hear from me next week, you might find me in an orange suit at the local detention center.
