Oakley found his belly laugh

Today after fetching Petal from school I put Oakley into his playpen with all his balls, and Petal climbed in with him and she started to try and juggle 2 balls, and the balls kept falling out. Oakley was rather fascinated by what she was doing and after another ball fell out, he found this funny. So Petal decided to throw some more balls out, well....Oakley was in hysterics, it was the funniest thing he's ever seen. He let out a real belly laugh, the first ever belly laugh Petal's first words were ''Oakley is really laughing, his first real laugh.'' she was so happy that she could make him laugh. She then declared that that means a fairy has been born. <3 It was so precious hearing Oakley give a real belly laugh, so glad I managed to catch it on video. My kids are a special pair. 

Oakley has officially been seizure free now for 3 weeks and counting... YAY!!! Each day is just so special with him, seeing how he's so curious about the world around him. How each little thing captures his attention, how he just wants to feel everything around him, touching, tasting, seeing, hearing and his latest is loud screeching shouting sounds, he does it more when he's trying to get his sister's attention, especially if she's walked away to go somewhere and he thinks she's not coming back, then he'll give that screeching shout. So he's definitely becoming vocal as the days go by. I absolutely love his little babble he's learnt, everything is ''blah blah blah blah'', he has such long conversations with himself, and then I say to him ''what are you saying'' he gives me the biggest littlest grin. My precious boy. 

Today in his walking ring he decided it's time to chase Whisper (our dog) around for a bit. Poor Whisper doesn't know where to turn so she runs and hides on the bed, but she doesn't stay there for long as she has to be by Oakley's side, she's very protective of Petal and Oakley, and has to make sure they both ok, even if her little paws end up getting ridden over. <3

As far as the medicine is going, the 1ml of Keppra and the 3,5ml's of Epilem are starting to become a mission, he's caught onto me and my tricks with the fruit and my blowing in his face to get him to swallow the meds, he'll now sit with the medicine in his mouth for a good 10 min. How I don't know, but he's one very bright boy, know's exactly what his Mommy is up too. So now we are back to the drawing board, needing to find a new way to get him to swallow the meds. Keeping his Mommy on her toes for sure. ;)

After lots of laughing, and giggling he's fast asleep now. He's had another good day. Lots of fun with the whole family, precious memories being made every day.
