Who is Seven?

Doctors call this a "baseline." They want to know what a child is like when he/she is well. I thought maybe some new users might want to get to see the same thing.Seven is a happy, laid back child. He hardly cries and is very peaceful. He is extremely charismatic. Doctors, therapists, family and friends tend to be drawn to him. He seems to soothe those he is around. I think this is his super power. I'm convinced Seven is a super hero. Instead of a cape he sports a natural mohawk. On the crown of his head are two hair swirls that turn in to each other. This makes the hair just pop up in a shape that resembles a cresting wave.
Seven is a little over 2 years old, but developmentally he is about 9 months old. Seven has low muscle tone and hasn't grown in height in about a year. We are all set to start growth hormone when he is well. Seven loves to make raspberry sounds, smack his lips, and says "ba ba" and "ma ma."

Seven can sit for a while on his own. He will even play with toys while he is sitting. He also has really taken to water and likes to "smell" the water off his top lip when he is wet!

He can't hear or see very well so he especially likes tactile stimulation. He interacts with others by placing his hand on your face or neck to "listen" to you talk. He will also just rub his hands and feet all over you when you hold him.
Seven loves to be jostled. He laughs when he is tickled, thrown in the air, or just abruptly moved. His smile and laugh don't appear to be such in front of strangers. It looks and sounds like torture! His scrunches up his nose and squeezes his eyes shut.
Seven used to not like anything in his mouth except his binky. He has loosened up a little with that rule and now we'll even catch him sucking his thumb sometimes!

This is Seven falling asleep in his Bumbo in September 2007. (He was just a little guy!) It's just too funny not to post.
