Let's Play!

Jonah has a few angels that come to the house and help out. They are his Therapists. They work with his vision, his movement, and teach us how to help him progress.

This is Jonah's swing. It is equipped with things that hang in his line of vision and also hang on his hands so he has things to practice grabbing. The red beads have become a quick favorite. He likes their texture and he opens and closes his hand around them.

The pom pom is okay, Jonah doesn't love it, but he tolerates it. I think when he moves his hand on this side he is trying to get away from it.:) Not really, but it's harder to grab hold of. Its a different texture to explore.
Check out Jonah holding a binki in his mouth all by himself! This is a big deal my friends! Today we gave him a bottle for the first time ever and he LOVED it. He only got one or two teaspoons out on his own, but he swallowed it down fine. We would give him some, then give him a break, then go again. During one of these breaks, (drum roll please, for the big news)

HE SMILED!!!
Yes its true. A small, brief, intentional smile. I cheered extra loud to let him know that Mom wants to see a whole lot more of that action!

Here's what I take from it all. Jonah is learning. He is progressing. It is so exciting to me I can't hardly contain my joy. Keep up the good work Jonah! (Especially the smile-work!)

Do I not have the two most handsome boys ever?
