Day #155

Happy Birthday Sawyer!

8 Months Old

I cannot even believe that he is 8 months old already!!  It is just flying by.

He is ahead developmentally.  He is starting to wave, and he is doing a great job picking up objects between his fore finger and thumb.  He's cooing more then ever.  He's not crawling yet, but he gets on his hands and knees and lunges forward.  He will army crawl a little, and roll to where he wants to go.

If he's sitting on the bed or something cushiony he can sit up from a laying down position.

He is still having his jerky body movements though out the day.  We went for a follow up to see Dr Lyon's the pediatric neurologist.  Sawyer's lactic acid blood test came back pretty high so they are referring us to a genetic specialist doctor at Children's Hospital in D.C.  He is concerned that he may have a metabolic/genetic disorder that is causing this.

This kid is still all smiles, even through all of the poking and prodding that he has gone through!!

I would take it away and give it to myself if I could.

It's killing me not knowing what is going on in his little body.  He can't tell me if he's sore from the lactic acid build up, but I'm sure that he is.
