We have had a lot of fun with bubbles! Now he interacts with them instead of just staring at the machine and turning it on and off. :)
Sorry for the delay of blogs....the stomach flu worked its way through the Anker household claiming Mommy and Grayson. Daddy was AMAZING. He cared for Grayson alone for 4 days while Mom was laid up in bed. Good father son bonding if you ask me.
We have started Grayson in an early intervention program called Early Steps. Mostly because he seems to have some social anxiety and sensory issues. He also doesn't have any words yet. We went through an evaluation and he qualified based mostly on his lack of verbal communication. Two weeks ago we started our weekly therapy with an infant/toddler developmental specialist. She comes to our home and does play therapy with G once a week for an hour. Her background is in speech so we are hopeful she can assist with that area as well. We also have a monthly consult with an occupational therapist. Will definitely keep you posted on his progress!
He likes to walk through the bubbles with his eyes closed.
Trying to pop them! It's funny. He gets his eye on one and it is his mission to get "that" bubble.
We had a fun visit from Nonny! She spent the week here with us.
Here are some action shots of playtime.
Grayson has become quite the builder. He can stack the blocks on top of one another when you say "put on." Nonny was holding the bottom steady so he could build a tower.
Fall weather is here! Last weekend, before the stomach virus, we went to the Jacksonville Zoo. This is the first time we have been since Grayson started walking. He LOVED it! We got a few pictures of him with his favorite animals.
He thought this anteater was hilarious. It really liked him too! It kept pacing in front of the glass and Grayson would march in place and make loud noises.
Next we went into the aviary. All he wanted to do is touch the birds. We had to keep him very close to us. He got close to grabbing them a few times.
After we walked around the zoo, we hopped aboard the train. It gives a behind the scene tour of the zoo. It was nice to be off our feet for a bit.
Onto the petting zoo! Grayson thought these goats were funny looking.
