Tis the season...

Christmas already? Time is slipping by! We did have our very first blizzard (sort of) today. Snow never really lasts very long here in the city. We took Shane out thinking he would be just as excited to feel the white snowflakes as I was, but realized between screams that he hated those wet things landing on his face. Oh well. Maybe when he is old enough to play in them, he'll change his mind.
Shane has been making tons of great progress lately. Finally eating most adult foods. This has been quite a struggle as he is a very textural eater and would only eat all things pureed up until about 3 weeks ago. He has graduated to such things as filet mignon, veal, beets, brussel sprouts, chicken, canned fruits in syrup. One of his top faves seems to be cottage cheese!!! That is what helped him get over his fear of "chunk". And avocado and scrambled eggs are right up there too. He is also rolling a great deal more and seems to finally understand if he wants something badly enough he needs to find a way to get it. Also spent many minutes on hands on knees in the crawl mode for the very first time this week in therapy sessions. Lot's to celebrate this year!!
