How did Teddy's development progress after that?
He was meeting some of his milestones at first, sitting up and crawling, but he never babbled, never cooed.
He never seemed to look at you.
And he was so quiet in the beginning.
He would get this faraway look on his face like he was locked away somewhere no one else could get to.
At first, my family and friends told me how lucky I was to have such a calm baby.
Teddy would scream and twist away so violently.
I thought he would hurt himself if anyone touched him besides me.
Jack was overseas the first year of Teddy's life, but then he was injured in a training accident, so he was discharged from the service and came home.
He would drink to make it go away.
Our friends eventually stopped coming to visit.
