Looking back… signs that something was not quite right

I’ll add to this list as I remember more, but I’m mainly posting this for anyone who comes across this website and has worries about their child.  All children are different and these are not meant to be markers for a diagnosis of any kind – but hindsight is 20/20 and these are some things we should [...]

Louder than Words: A Mother’s Journey into healing autism

Jenny McCarthy’s book brings to life what many of us are struggling with.  I was so happy to read this book and to share it with those who know we’re struggling – so they have a better understanding of things we just can’t seem to verbalize effectively.  This is a must read for anyone who [...]

Book Recommendation: Hair Test Interpretation – Finding Hidden Toxicities

This book is open on my desk constantly!  Andy Cutler’s books have greatly helped me to help my son.  This book helps you to identify toxicity by explaining how to read hair test results for essential and toxic elements.   He breaks down each element with complete detailed explanations for each one – it’s a step [...]

1 – 2 years of age… the worry begins…

From 1 – 2 years of age is where I really started to worry, but the doctors kept reassuring me that everything was fine.  Nicholas was never into books, bedtime stories, etc.  He was still not pointing or really waving.  He did not care if anyone left the house, the room, the planet for that [...]

“Boys talk later than Girls”

PSA to any pediatricians out there….   This statement gives parents of boys false hope that their sons don’t have any developmental delays.  Like any statement, it can be true some times and not others.  If a child does have delays, you’ve just been very successful in wasting precious time that the child could have received Early Intervention. [...]

Milestones: 12-18 months

He never started pointing or waving hello/goodbye.  We tried to get him to say hi and bye – and he never caught on.  I was not worried at this point because everyone said it was a boy thing to talk later.  He always played really well by himself – and not knowing any better at [...]

Milestones: 6-12 months

At 6 months, we started introducing baby foods in addition to his formula.  He loved all kinds of foods, applesauce, rice cereal, peas, barley cereal and peaches.  He was drinking from and holding a sippy cup at 6 months.  He stared pushing up at 7 months, said “dada” for the first time at 7 months.  [...]

Milestones: 3-6 Months

Nicholas started paying attention to the TV, so we would play an occasional Baby Einstein video for him once every few days or so.  He loved them.  He would smile and coo and make noise – he really enjoyed them.  He started babbling right around 3 months.  He started drooling and teething at 3 ½ months [...]
