Things are about the same since the last update. Derek was a little off on sleeping patterns over the weekend, so that made for some long nights before he would go down. But it hasn't been hard to push that back some, which is a huge difference from a few months ago, something like this would take days or weeks to get him back on a more "normal" clock.

I've been using the mag sulfate cream every night on his back, but having troubles with the vitamins. Once I got up to about 3.5cc in some juice he could taste it and wouldn't drink it. I have the powdered vitamins too, so I will see if I can sneak those into some yogurt since he loves yogurt. He's still not getting his high phenol foods- applesauce, banana's and raisins. I need to look into when I could add them in, or how to rotate them in for him.

His newest learned and remembered word is "rain". It started raining here a few days ago, and he stood at the window and watched it downpour for a good 5-10 minutes one morning, he was pretty fascinated by it. He's also become very interested in his reflection, we have glass/mirrored fireplace covers on both fireplaces and you can watch him playing with his reflection often. He got a new toy over the weekend, its a truck with a car carrier and a car. Derek and his brother Tristan were playing with them yesterday together, I was so excited to see that!

We got his forms for admission for CDRC, I need to finish them up and send them in, and we wait for that appointment. Next is finding a DAN! doctor in our area, there are a few listed but I'm hoping to find others with some opinions on them.
