Progress with Flynn

This past week has been a good one for Flynn. We have finally been able to make some headway with him. I bought a large red ball, and he now wants to roll it back and forth with us. He is also jumping more properly, and wants to walk the stairs.

For awhile, we were concerned that he might have a tie tongue. We had not seen him stick out his tongue or lick anything. Yesterday, I got Flynn to stick his tongue out. He was able to lick some baby food off of my finger.

Another part of therapy has been getting Flynn to sign "more" in order to ask for food. We have agreed that anytime he moves his two hands together, that it would count. He occasionally would freak out and throw a tantrum, but now he is actually moving his hands together more often than not in order to indicate wanting food.

Today, he even started roaring at us. This is incredible, because I do not remember him ever doing that before. He has been making so many sounds today, "B"s, "M"s, "R"s, etc. It just makes me so excited, that he is willing to learn. We are able to begin to communicate, which I love.
