18 months old - (15 months corrected),

It feels like forever since i last updated Ronan's progress but i guess he is almost 19 months old. He has become a very cheeky little man. We are forever saying "no" and he forever tries to test the boundaries which is so cute but also makes it hard not to laugh.

He crawls around like a mad man. We try to keep up with him but he is so damn fast on his knee's. He is walking along furniture but doesn't walk unaided yet. He seems like he is quite a while off walking yet as he is having trouble walking forward. He can walk sideways without any problem but as soon as you try to get him to walk towards you whilst holding his hands he just flops on the ground and doesn't want to do it. We still attend physio and keep up with his exercises but i feel that we are not progressing very fast. I have certainly learnt to be patient with him and his milestones.

This is a list of words which he currently says alot: I got, I know, Mum, Dad, Bye Bye, No, Hi, Hi Dad, Bubba, Back.

Mr Ronan has been in the media quite alot of late. He has been in newspapers, magazines and on websites. He was last featured in the Knox Journal and That's Life magazine. I have attached a copy of each article in his photo's.

He was in that's life as part of a story about L'il Aussie Prems. He was in the Knox Journal because of the National Premmie Foundation which will be launched in October this year. He is my little "media hog".

We are about to head up to Sydney in a few weeks for a friends wedding. Ronan hasn't seen his grandma since March this year and the rest of the family for almost a year. He now weighs approx 11.2kgs so he is going to be a lot bigger than the last time they saw him.

He now has 10 teeth! He has his 8 baby teeth at the front and 2 molars. The molars were not fun when they came through but once they broke the skin he was back to his happy, placid self.
