Andy's Accomplishments for 2004 & 2005.

Andy has done an awesome job this last year as well as this year. I am so proud of him. He has worked so hard.

These are some of the things he has working on to accomplished in 2005....
*In Feb. 2005...we switched phyiscal therapist....what a difference. He is learning to stand on his own. He still has a long way to go but hey....he is doing it.

*In March 2005, he took his first step by himself. Boy, I had tears in my eyes.
*By the end of March 2005, He has taken up to 6 steps by himself.

These are some of the things he accomplished in 2004.
*January 2004...He learned to walk independently with his kaye walker. He now uses it to go everywhere. The only time he uses his wheelchair is if we go shopping and will be walking for a long time. Any quick shopping trips he will use his walker.

*The rest of his accomplishments are not in any kind of order.....
*July 2004...learned to blow bubbles.
*June 2004...learned his colors and the signs of each color.
*Learning to swing on a regular swing.
*Drink from an open cup without spilling.
*Learned 75 signs.
*Recognize his name on paper.
*Dress & undress himself.....He knows how to do this but I still help him alot. (It's a time thing.)
*Using his signs in sentences.

I would like to thank Deanna for all the hard work and time she spent with Andy.....She was Andy's nanny last year. She really worked hard with him to get to where he is today. (By the way, Deanna....he loves his blanket....many times a day he looks at the pictures. Thank you very much.)
