Gindion I just know that he can hold his head up, but not steady at all. He barely follows objects with his eyes. Hardly ever reacts to sounds, except when he's looking right at whatever's making it. He doesn't reach for things, and I don't think it's occured to him yet that those hands are attached to him. I'm really hoping he's just a late bloomer, but if he does turn out to be delayed in someway, I'm going to do my best to learn everything about it, and do the best for him that I can. not to scare you but my son is and was the same way and still doesnt know his hands feet are attached and that hes the baby in the mirror xd

Even if he does turn out to have some type of problem, I won't love him any less. He's my first child, and no matter what, he'll always be the light of my life, as corny as that sounds.

Well... i'm not sure if naaman is considered special needs. Even if he were... I can't really put him like that cuz my bf will flip out to no end. naaman was diagosed as autistic spectrum disorder this summer. he went for a brain scan... but that event alone has made it impossible for us to cut his hair, wash his hair.. ok, if it has to do with his head.. just forget it. sad
his vocabulary skills are picking up. and his immitation skills are still picking up.. i guess i have a lot of faith and hope for him because he makes good eye contact which a lot of autistic children do not. however, even tho at school he'll sit at a table with other children, he will only play alone. he won't really 'interact' if you get me. he's 4 now.. and has a very limited vocabulary.

My son is the same way but ill never give up. I hope you and your family ae well and that your son continues to improve.

Well, this year naaman went into a type of pre-preschool thing... and he's there getting speech therapy once a week and occupational therapy once a week... but he isn't acheiving any of the goals they set for him. i am still considering the need to put him into an AI classroom.

Keep us posted. 3nodding -hugs-

I wish the best to all the parents with special needs kid's. They are beautiful. I have only had speach issuses withmy kid's my four year old has problem communicating. I put him in special pre-K with speech. But, he started bitting and hitting others. That is something he has never done before. I decided to pull him out of school for now and try to continue to work at home with him. Hopefully things will get better... I love him regardless.

Consider calling your local school system . They can have speech therapists and such come right to your house or special group play with speech therapists and other children that are better watched. It may help not only with speech but his play with others 3nodding and all parents are welcome here 3nodding heart
