Dylan goes boom

Okay so we know this isn't the best position that Dylan is sitting in but he was sitting how he knows how to for a few minutes. Dylan is making lots of progress. Besides sitting in this pic, he ate a chicken nugget finely chopped for the first time in years. He had minimal gagging at first but then enjoyed eating the nugget. Kalen and I are so excited because it is opening a whole new world for Dylan. Dylan typically eats "soft-mechanical" foods. For those of you who don't know what that term means, it is in regards to food that are soft in texture that are fairly easy to eat without a lot of chewing required. Such foods are applesauce, mac & cheese, oatmeal, etc. I'm pretty sure you guys got the idea.


Yeah Dylan is sitting! If we can now get him to use his arms to "weight bear". But we are really pleased at the progress he is making.


Dylan looking at mommy. Some of you might not know that Dylan's visual impairment causes him to hold his back head sometimes. His vision is the strongest at the sides or up. So if you happen to talk to him or want to show him something those are the best places to present something to him.
And Dylan went boom. After he was done eating, Dylan fell to the side. He always thinks it's funny. By the way....I don't know what happened to his pants.
