Bennett has been doing so great lately. Although everything seems to be going well at the time we always seem to be looking back thinking "man that was really hard, I can not believe how much easier this is" Bennett was a changed little kid after he got his trach out and even since then has made many more milestones that have just kinda snuck up on us.
Bennett has learned to sleep through the night... that is right, we put him in bed and he doesn't get up until the morning. This sounds like something easy and something we should have conquered months ago but it just didn't happen. As the months went on we always just thought this is how life is with a baby, getting up every couple hours to see what he needed. Anyway, now that he is sleeping better he is awake more during the day as are his mom and dad after FINALLY getting some good sleep.
Bennett is also WALKING!! We have officially counted TEN consecutive steps. He is moving and happy to be doing it. He sure had fun chasing Hadley this week at his play date... practicing for many years of chasing the girls for sure!
We have been looking forward to a his first speech therapy appointments in the next couple weeks (we anticipated a speech delay with the trach and tongue surgery) and I am already dying to hear that first "mama" not that his friendly "aaagggghhhh" when I get him in the morning isn't just as lovely.
Everyday we think "how could we be so lucky?!" and then he amazes us with something new and we are even prouder... We have finally been thinking "oh this is why people have more than one baby..." No little siblings on the way yet but definitely something to consider...
