Helmet Countdown Wk 7

Helmet Countdown- 7 weeks down, 1 week to go!

7 days.  In 7 days Matthew will be helmet free and we can move on from this chapter of Matthew's story.  I'm gleefully counting down the days! 

In health news, Matthew went to the pediatrician yesterday and as my gut indicated, it is just the common cold.  He also has a secondary infection in his eye and possibly has the start of a sinus infection.  Time will tell about the sinus infection.  We have Matthew's 1 year check up on Monday and will treat it then if it becomes an issue. 

And for some good news, Matthew picked up and started chewing on a teething biscuit this week.  For the past several months, we've put Matthew in his high chair with a biscuit (or some puffs or cereal).  He usually just pushes it around the tray and onto the floor.  Tuesday, instead of pushing the biscuit around, he picked it up, put it in his mouth and started chewing.  I'm not sure how much actually went down compared to how much he was wearing after.  It was an amazing mess, but a glorious moment.  Yesterday, he repeated the process.  Matthew's making good forward progress with his development, slow and steady.
