Getting there.

Slowly.  But he's making progress.

Speech/Language:  He is pretty much only saying Mama and Dada.  He occasionally says a 'hi' noise when he is playing with a phone, and he used to say fish, but hasn't said it in months.  I have noticed he has trouble saying Dada after saying Mama and vice versa.  If he is saying Mama and we ask him to say Dada, he continues to try and make the ma noise before finally getting the da out.  He sees the speech pathologist next week at the CDD so I'm going to bring that up.  I know it seems like a small thing, but with the feeding troubles combined with speech delays a few things were brought up in the past that make it more worrisome for me (mainly speech apraxia)

He is however doing really well with sign language.  He has a couple signs he uses regularly throughout the day (milk and more) and one we see occasionally (all done...but it doesn't look all that much like the actual sign for all done).  We are working on a few that will be helpful in knowing what he wants (eat, sleep, book, bath).

Physical:  Isaiah is cruising along the furniture now!  The goal for his 18 month review is to be standing independently (not holding onto anything) and while I'm not sure we will get there in a month, he will be there soon!

Cognitive:  Isaiah's cognitive testing has been moved up to next week so I'll be able to update more after that, but he's doing some really great things!  He started blowing kisses occasionally, he waves bye-bye pretty much every time we ask, and he seems to be understanding us, and following very simple directions.

Feeding:  Eating well, transitioned to a sippy cup and gaining weight!  The 3 week intensive therapy is off the table for now.  He goes back to see his feeding therapist in May and I'm thinking we will start going less frequently after that appointment :)

Tuesday is his testing and evaluations.  My prediction is that he is still about 6-8 months delayed...But making month to month progress is really all I wanted :)
