He's a Maniac, Maniac, Maniac

OK...so we sometimes get carried away with titles to our blog posts...

We titled this one because Dustin's first appointment with a physical therapist was yesterday. Sometimes, the kids with Down have muscular development challenges. This can delay things like walking, etc. The PT said Dustin's muscular development was very good at this point - on par with "normal". That said, she still gave us some exercises that we, including Zach can do with DJ. We can move his arms and legs side to side and up and down....so we can actually say that DJ has his own aerobics class (hence the post title)!

DJ now weighs in over 8.5 lbs...so this is moving along nicely. His size is helping with nursing (hopefully we'll get to the point where he does not also need a bottle - this would mean Lisa does not have to pump anymore).

The other day Dustin slept through the night - praise! This guy really does sleep well...

Rob's stress level is a bit better because one of his work projects is wrapping up.

Optional Prayer Request: Pray for comfort as we grieve the loss of the Sox to the Rays. Also pray that Dustin Pedroia gets the AL MVP...he really does deserve it as he was near tops in average, tops in doubles, tops in hits and he should be a gold glove as well.
