Hard to believe another month has come and gone. The beginning of October has brought with it some cooler air and personally for me, there is nothing better than Fall weather.
Dawson is still doing really well. The only issue we are having at this point is maybe some small sleep issues. Generally speaking he sleeps pretty well and is much better than it used be. But he still has a lot of waking during the night. Not so much opening his eyes awake, but just a lot of twisting and turning and flipping and flopping all over the bed. Nothing like that 3:00 A.M. head butt, or the times around 2:00 in the morning when your kidneys feel like a soccer ball from being kicked constantly... Sleeping all the way through the night is still something were working on.
Monday the evaluator with Early Intervention stopped by to do an eval on Dawson. She commented on how well he was doing and he seems to still be learning new stuff on just about a weekly basis now. His vocabulary now is Ma Ma, Da Da, Dog, Hey, and last night we were working on showing him his ears, and he said what sounded like " eeees" several times.
Monday he learned to hold up one finger to show his age, and he has gotten very comfortable at walking around while holding on to something. He is even standing, coming from a squatting position, for a few seconds at a time unassisted.
Socially, you could not ask for any more. He is very interactive and loves to play all sorts of games. The only person that we have seen that he doesn't care for is his physical therapist, and that's only because she makes him work. He is full of smiles and we still to this day feel so blessed to be a witness to a miracle that continues on even today. Thank you God for giving us Dawson!! He is such a blessing to our entire family.
Thanks for checking on him and for your constant prayers and support
We love you
Jeff and Allison

Connor is a crazy sleeper too!! We had put him in our bed when he learned how to climb out of his crib, but it really started to wear on us his flopping all around in the bed. Once we got his big boy bed up with the rail on it, it's nice that he can sleep in there, and we can lay down with him if needed. He too wakes up around 2-4am. i don't know what it is about that time. We started him on Melatonin after his last neuro appointment and that is helping alot to get him to sleep and sustain sleep! You may want to keep that in mind if the crazy sleep continues. Good Luck & sleep the best you can!
Couldn't have asked for a better update.What joy you must feel,each and everyday,as you look at this little miracle and see how far he has come.Keep up the awesome job little man!
