Summertime Update

It's been about 6 months since I last updated on the family. Colton has made mind blowing progress since March. His weight is no longer a concern and his height is still doing fairly well. Developmentally he is still behind by about a month and a half but still continues to make leaps and bounds progress. While back in KC he learned how to become fully mobile. He can roll, sit up, crawl, and pull to a standing position all on his own now. He can walk down furniture pretty well and learned to climb the stairs a few days ago. Still has no desire to walk and standing is still a challenge. Still struggles to get down after he stands up sometimes. He's the happiest and most rotten little boy. Very persistent when he wants something he knows he isn't supposed to have. Babbling and talking some...lots of DADAs and no Mommas lol. Loves music and likes to bounce with it.

We did have a minor set back a few weeks ago. Constipation is an issue for any child especially when introducing new foods. Well Colton's health issues make it an even bigger concern for us. We ended up in the ER in Springfield MO because of it. So thankful they were able to help us but so sad that my little man had to go through all of that. Seeing him in so much pain was heartbreaking. Needless to say I will be staying more on top of things from now on and will be speaking with the surgeon on better methods to prevent that from ever happening again.

All in all the family as a whole is doing well. We only have a few months left of Darrell being gone,
