Luke Update

We took Luke for a weight check on Tuesday. Our doctor wanted us to have a half way check-in between his 12 and 15 month appointments. On April 2nd he weighed 18 lbs. 9 oz, and at our visit on May 12th he weighed 19 lbs. 2 oz. The pediatrician said that his little growth keeps him exactly where he was before, the 2nd %-tile. The weight gain is a good sign because he is at least maintaining his weight instead of staying the same or losing. We're supposed to continue with his speech services to hopefully slowly overcome this sensory feeding issue.
On a positive note, Luke is doing well with his physical therapy. He took his first independent step, 7 of them actually, on Tuesday. The therapist feels that he's getting stronger and he is well on his way to walking correctly soon! Hooray!
