During Physical Therapy on Tuesday, Gavin was trying so hard! His therapist put him on his tummy, on this dino pillow, and he was lifting his head higher than I have ever seen him!
This may not look like much for a 2 1/2 year old, but this is great progress for Gavin! After his stroke we were told that he may never progress any further, so any progress is huge for him! One tiny step at a time. I am so proud!

I wished we lived closer so we could get these boys together for a head holding playdate. Jax has done the best ever on his belly last time to. He used to just cry because he couldn't hold it up and would be eating carpet. Progress!!
Gavin,
You're my hero! Way to go, buddy! You're going to keep on amazing us--I'm sure of it!
AWESOME!!!!!!!! Way to go Gavin, I am so proud of you buddy!!
One of the greatest joys I have found in this new "special" life we lead is being able to thoroughly appreciate things our kiddos do that others might not find that big of a deal. What a blessing to learn these lessons and not take things for granted!

Great Job, Gavin! I just wanna scoop him up and kiss his cheeks!
Great JOB!! It's so awesome to see our babes prove them wrong. PT (or physical torture) as I like to call it has been terribly unpleasant around here lately, but he looks like he is enjoying looking around!!
Woo hoo Gavin! Good job Buddy!
You Go Little Man!!!!! YEAH G...A...V...I...N!!!!!!
How fun for you Momma!!!!
Love and Hugs!!!!
Mallorie wants a playdate, too, so she can learn this stuff from Gavin!
Are you kidding?This is great stuff!!My motto for Zoey, that I adopted from another little fighters blog and have passed on to many is:Slow and Steady Wins The Race.Great job Mr.Gavin.

Woohoo Gavin! Check out that head lifting! You are awesome. :)
Hi friend. I wanted to tell you that we've thought a lot about how to get our girl. I can't afford a private adoption either, its outrageous. I've thought of sperm sorting, its expensive, but not like a private adoption. I've heard about 2,000. But thats here in Utah, we tend to be a little lower in health stuff. What seems the most logical is adopting from the foster system. They actually pay you until they turn 18. I would love to adopt another DS or a heart baby, it sounds crazy, but I would get a nanny that could watch them if one went into the hospital. That would be better than grandma anyway because then they could sleep in their own beds and get to school. The only reason I haven't started the process yet is because its tedious. They do home inspections, background checks, and you have to take classes just to start. It makes my head spin.
Go Gavin Go!!! Keep up the great work!!
Love,
Julie
