Christmas 2010

Well our little boy certainly was spoilt on Christmas Day. He received trucks, cars, lego, books, things to draw with, a cap, etc, etc. Will have to buy a bigger house to put all his toys in!

Updates

Brendon went to the scars clinic for his burnt hand yesterday. His fingers aren't healing as well as they could be. The scar tissue needs to adhere better to the tissue underneath it so it reduces his loss of sensation. Consequently we have to continue massaging his fingertips 3-4 times per day, literally pressing the skin back onto the tissue.
I also saw the eye specialist yesterday. I have two more weeks left of eye drops but have been given the all clear. I was told it is a recurrent condition and is likely to come back. As the cause of it is unknown, we don't know how to prevent it coming back. The doctor said I don't have glaucoma and no family history of hunchbacks, which are the most common causes of this condition.
Brendon is quite funny to watch walking around. He leads off with his right foot, and the left one tends to drag behind. We think this may be due to his sideways walking that he did for months while he used the furniture to walk around everywhere.
Brendon is saying so many words that we stopped counting at 50. It is probably closer to 60 by now.

Walking

On Sunday, Brendon decided that taking the odd few steps wasn't enough, he now wants to walk. Here is a photo taken of him walking at the Mini Club Christmas party.
He had two new teeth come through last week, so now has 11 teeth.

'Tis the season

The weather is heating up and here is a recent photo of Brendon, aged 14 months.
I went to the eye specialist today and have to continue taking the drops for another 3-4 weeks. Things are much better, the redness has gone and the swelling has reduced.
