J is finally wearing his glasses somewhat consistently. I'm still not totally convinced that we can avoid some type of surgical intervention though. His right eye is wandering more than ever. He can blink and bring it back in, but it's happening so often now.
The words and phrases are exploding. He's using 3-4 word phrases more often and J is actually conversational at times, rather that strictly commenting or requesting. It's so cool to hear! He's labelling more shapes, letters and numbers.
Eating is inconsistent. He will actively chew food that dissolve very easily like corn puffs or baby stars, but still spits out things like graham crackers or Cheerios. He licked a piece of pear in therapy yesterday (only to get a puff) but still a little progress! I'm working on getting him to eat puree of "non-preferred" fruits and veggies (ok, who am I kidding, I'm trying to get him to eat something other than bananas!). He's doing better if a offer him a puff or star for each bite. I've been increasing the number of bites in between. It's been sorta working. He was OK with green beans and sweet potatoes, but some of the other have been a big battle.
We have dental clinic, ENT, and GI in the first few months of the year.
Object du Jour: "Jackson's book" He made a book of "ing" words to practice at school yesterday. He's been carrying it around since, but it's slowly shedding pages. I'm collecting them and hoping to get them laminated and rebound at Kinko's. He needs the practice with verbs. Instead of seeing the action in the picture, he only sees the noun. Instead of talking, he only sees the phone in the boy's hand.
