Part One

I’ll start with knitting.  I cast on the Monkey socks 2 days ago.  I’m halfway through the leg.  I’ve read that these socks go fast, and they do.  It’s an 11 row repeat, and 3 rows of the repeat you knit every stitch so it’s fast.  You do the repeat 6 times for the leg.  I can easily get a repeat done a day.  I know that doesn’t sound like a lot, but it’s a lot for me.  The pattern is pretty easily memorized too.  I only have to refer to the chart every now and then to make sure I’m on the right track.

I am knitting with the Tamarack colorway, and I’m liking how it’s knitting up.

Part Two

Time for baby stuff now.  Yesterday, Liam saw the PT.  We aren’t doing any private therapy since he’s been doing so well.  We’ve only seen the Early Intervention PT once about 6 weeks ago.  Her assessment:  He’s beautiful.  I can’t ask for anything better.  I did ask her about his lack of rolling.  She said that he can roll.  He just has to want to roll.  Some kids don’t like to roll so they don’t.  What does he do that evening?  Roll.  From back to belly.  He rolled over in his crib this morning before his first bottle.  After his morning nap, I caught this.

Seems he’s figured out that he likes to roll. 

He’s excited.  I’m excited too.  That means when we re-evaluate his IFSP next month, we can cross off all the goals set on the last one and write all new ones.  Sitting is obviously going to be a goal for the next IFSP.  They about fell over when they saw him sitting on his own.  We see the OT and ST next month for the first time.  I’m anxious about this.  I know I shouldn’t be since he doesn’t seem to have any issues, but I’m afraid they’re going to find something or tell me I’m doing something wrong.  Especially in the case of the ST.  He’s eating fine for me, but I have no experience feeding a baby so I have no idea if he’s doing something "not normal".  I guess this is the way it goes.
