Louis is 18 Months Old

Well, this has been an eventful month as Louis fell down the stairs at daycare on April 7th and ended up with a concussion. He had been doing well with the stairs at home (under constant supervision and cues to turn around and go down backwards) Unfortunately he had balance difficulty and irritability for about a week following the accident (but he has fully recovered). My mom flew up here from St. Louis at the last minute to take care of him so he didn't have to go to daycare. She took care of him 3 days! It was so sad seeing him falling down so much and so crabby but it was so nice to have help!)

Louis recovered just in time for our vacation to hawaii! We left on April 16th and my parents actually met us LA to fly to Hawaii and help us with Louis so we could go out and have some fun! Louis LOVED the sand and water and had so much fun playing with grandma and grandpa!

Louis' balance and walking is getting so much better and he doesn't really fall down anymore unless he is really tired! He is also able to play at the park and has figured out how to climb up to the slide and sit down and hold his feet up and go down the slide. Our neigbors gave us a LIttle Tykes care and he just loves when I bring it out on the drive way and he just gets in and out of the thing forever! Since it is getting nicer outside we have been going out alot! Louis has been sleeping through then night as well! Our little guy has been so much fun and we just love to laugh at him! He is starting to initiate words especially car and puppy (pu-pu) and cracker (cra-cra) and thank you and tries to repeat many words when you tell him to!
