Big Boy!!

We have been working lately a ton on feeding with Nathan. We were able to increase the amount of time Nathan receives of Occupational Therapy recently and spend half of that therapy session working on feeding. Today, both Nathan's Dietitian and OT were tag-teaming a feeding session AND look at what our big boy accomplished!!


Bringing his straw cup up to his mouth.


Drinking all by HIMSELF!!


Now he's showing off - one handed!!

This is a HUGE step for Nathan!! Until recently, Nathan wouldn't even want to touch, hold or bring anything to his mouth. We still have a long way to go, but he's starting to show more interest and is proving that he can do it!! We are waiting to have a feeding specialist come do an evaluation on Nathan within the next month and we are hoping for some more help to handle more food and textures!!
