A few weeks ago I expressed some frustration to Cowboy that NoBo was just not progressing like I hoped he would when he first came to our home. Cowboy pointed out many ways that NoBo had made progress since coming to live with our family in January. Recently I've noticed even more progress, which is very hopeful.
As many of you know, we really struggle with NoBo's eating. Recently we've gone to a psychologist's office for some help with his food aversions. Things seem to be looking up. A few days ago he weighed in at a whopping 18.7 pounds. The 18-pound mark has seemed like an unattainable goal since we've had NoBo. Everytime he'd approach 18 pounds he'd get sick and lose back down. Needless to say, we've been rejoicing with his weight gain!!!
He's vocalizing often and the sounds he makes are no longer just vowel sounds. Yay for consonants!
A few minutes ago he took his first step!!!
Currently he's throwing a fit because I won't let him touch the keyboard. Things like this are a huge praise. I know that sounds funny, but I get excited when he exhibits "normal" behaviors. He's throwing a fit right now as I type that is very typical of a 1 1/2 year old. YAY!!!
Thanks for letting me share my excitement in the baby steps. I'm believing God will continue to restore losses that NoBo has had.

Praise God!!! I understand the need to reach milestones, even if they are small ones! Praise be to God we're now at the point of discussing how much longer we should be going to OT! It's been a long road, but I am so thankful that God trusted us with our precious son!
