It's hard to believe Porter is 4 months old already. It sometimes feels like we just brought him home. Like we've blinked and ended up here with our happy little man!
Porter is amazing! At 4 months, he is 14 pounds 12 ounces and 27 inches- a big boy!
His head control is really developing and he's able to do a supported sit for 5 min when motivated by a favorite toy or sister. He's rolling belly to back, biting on toys, getting his hands to his center, sucking his thumb and getting his hands on his bottle. He's starting to vocalize and giggles more often. His favorite toys are his owl and his purple hippo. He loves the swing and is really looking up at the mobile. His bond with Penny is amazing- no doubt that he loves his sister! Overall, he's one happy baby :)
He is doing really well in OT and we are so thankful to have an amazing therapist. We had a consult with speech yesterday and they gave us some great tips! Porter and I recently received instruction in infant massage and he's responding really well! We're starting PT next week. We are incredibly thankful to be experiencing Down Syndrome at a time when so many services are available to help him succeed! These therapies are working wonders! We're so proud of how hard Porter is working to move ahead and grow stronger! Go Bubby Go!
