Here is a list of a lot of new things Jack is doing in the last two weeks or so. Some of these we've been working on for OVER A YEAR by now. It feels good that certain things are starting to 'click' for Jack.

• Jack can play patty cake with BOTH HANDS! Upon request…

• He can point to his nose and mouth upon request…

• NO MORE BOTTLE!! Jack has moved on to a straw sippy cup that he sometimes holds on his own for completely independent drinking!!!

• Signs for more

• Can wave bye bye

• Says “Bah” for Ball!!! Only when prompted or reminded

• Says “Bubba” for bubble!!! Only when prompted or reminded

• Is repeating sounds more consistently, like pa pa, ma ma, da da, and ba ba as well as snoring, snorting, coughing and sneezing (he finds these SO FUNNY to repeat!)

• Can pick out objects from a line up like sock, ball, binky, cup, book, paper, etc.

• He can pull to stand very well when placed on his knees

• Is crawling so fast – still on his belly

• Gets back down to sitting position from standing at the furniture
