More and more of Nathaniel’s personality is coming through. We were joking around one day and he smiled at the jokes without us having to tell him to smile. One day I was complaining to him about someone in a not-nice way. He put his finger out and waved it as if to say, “Nu, nu, nu. Stop.” In occupational therapy he is choosing what songs to add to his play list. If anyone has ideas of what to add, please let me know. He keeps getting physically stronger as well. In physical therapy, he is working on rolling from side to side and sitting up. He does well on the bicycle, even though he tells us that he doesn’t like it. Swallowing is still a work in progress, but he is working hard. I've told him that I am waiting to grill a nice big juicy steak for him when he is ready to eat.
