sleeping issues again

For the past few days Dawson has reverted back to some of his old sleeping habits. He is back to taking 30 min naps during the day and waking up several times during the night again. Not sure why either. He has also been quite fussier than usual as well. The days of sitting him down in the floor with his toys for an hour seem to be over for right now. A few minutes of playing and then hes crying and fussing again. Our little laid back, do whatever, content just to be playing fella has changed into I only want mommy to hold me, and I don't want to sleep, and I don't want to play monster.

Hopefully this is just a phase and it will pass soon.

He continues to progress forward and will give sugars to just about anybody who asks him nicely for some ( including me again YEA) and he is also started waving. He saw his reflection in the glass the other day and waved to himself. Of course we pounced all over that one and now we are trying to get him to wave to everything and everybody. He only does it if it suits him though. Its almost as if you have to be worthy of his time to wave to you.

We went and tried the picture thing again yesterday and we were able to get some really really good pictures of him. They should be August 6th and if any off our out of town family and friends would like some please drop us an email at wade92503@yahoo.com and leave us your address. We would be happy to send one of him to you.

Still waiting to hear back from the folks in Atlanta on his test results. Its been over 6 weeks now and we are past being antsy for the results. Hopefully we will get those soon.

Thanks for taking your time to check in on Dawson. Each and every one of you are so appreciated by this family. We love you

Jeff and Allison

Hi! Thanks for visiting Connor's blog! We are located in High Point, NC. I'm always looking to meet other IS families. When Connor was diagnosed in 12/06, all of these blogs weren't out. I would've loved it if they were, especially during our ACTH journey..being on isolation for 4 & 1/2 months. Dawson is sooo adorable. I look forward to following your journey of raising an IS child, and to getting to know you. big hugs, monica
