Making progress!

Guess who is holding his own bottle?

Look how proud he is!

We've been hoping he would show some interest in holding his bottle on his own, and every few days, we'd give it a try, but he didn't have much interest. But yesterday he held it for a few seconds - and tonight he held it pretty much the whole time he drank - and then tossed it to the floor when it was empty. Next we'll work on his manners! It is just so fun to watch him pick things up - it may take him a little longer to get ready to try new things, but once he does try, he gets it down quickly!

Yesterday I also fixed him a sippy cup of juice to bring along on our walk (smart idea of the therapist's, since learning to drink from a cup indoors means lots of sticky furniture) and for the first time, he actually drank his juice from it. What a good boy!
