Major Breakthroughs

Dylan has had a major breakthrough with his fine motor skills! He has learned to grab items using his fingers rather than his whole fist. We've been working on this for quite some time but yesterday he got it! Here is the proof:


See everyone! I'm using my thumb and first two fingers.



















I discovered I can eat smaller items that way like these crackers.
















Congratulations Dylan! We can't wait to show your OT's!

Another breakthrough is Dylan learned how to sign "puppy" yesterday. This is essentially just tapping his leg twice (like calling a dog to come) but he finally understood what we were trying to have him say. Now our puppy, Jack or Elsa, walks into a room, and he'll pat himself. It might not always be on the leg but he's getting the broader picture. We are some very proud parents and yesterday was very productive.
