My oh My we have been busy

Wow July was the last time I wrote. Here goes:
I started school in July so that has kept me busy. My free time has been spent promoting the Down Syndrome Buddy Walk. We have about 50 walkers and over $2500 in donations. Yeah Us. It is this Sat the 29th.
Ok enough excuses.
Lucas is growing like a little weed. He had his one year appt and he was 29in and 19lbs. Small for a typical baby but big for a child with down syndrome. He had two parties. He was a little overwhelmed and cried but over all he had fun.
His helmet is done, Yeah Lucas. That was finished two weeks ago. Last week he had to have blood drawn to test that nasty ole thyroid again. And it came back normal. See he is a normal baby.
He failed his hearing test again. They think it is because of the small canals, fluid just can't drain right. We have an ENT (Ears Nose Throat) appt on Nov 29th. Hopefully it will be a quick fix.
He still isn't crawling but he can army crawl. He was looking like a zombie only using the right arm and leg to army crawl. I so wanted to make him up like a zombie baby and video that but I waited too long and now he really army crawls. He can actually get up on all fours and rock back and forth. He just won't crawl. He did go over to the step and lifted himself up onto his knees and sat down on his butt. Very cute but oh no here he goes. He actually sat up 3 times by himself but hasn't done it since. Goofy boy.
Today was another mile stone for Lucas. He got his 1st tooth. He is doing so well. He sure is a precious child.
Today Lucas is visiting his grandma and grandpa tonite and tomorrow. Mommy gets some cleaning carpet time and school work time. Those times are very few.
I keep saying this and I will keep this updated at least weekly. Promise
