It took Lewis a while to really get the hang of his Bounce & Spin Zebra, but he's got it now and really loves it! We took a video this week because the last time his grandparents were here, he was so excited to see them that he wouldn't "perform" by jumping on the zebra. So for your enjoyment and theirs, check out this clip.
Lewis is also eating much better these days. We made another attempt at spoon-feeding him vegetables and he is willing to eat them once again. We would LOVE for him to make more attempts at self-feeding, but at this point will take what we can get. This way we at least know he is getting some nutrients (though he's not eating the meat and beans he once did). He is also not starving, which helps his sleeping and digestive system. :)
At the suggestion of his pediatrician, we are picking a new speech-therapist on Monday. Lewis is happy to roar like a lion, but that is his only sound these days and we are hoping for something more for him. We often wake to his growling on the monitor, which is kind of scary! We're hoping for the more pleasant "mama" or "dada." Pray for this meeting with our First Steps coordinator. We have a couple of names (suggestions), but basically will be given sheets describing 10-15 therapists (similar to resumes) and have to make a choice without meeting anyone. It's hard! It will take a special person to motivate Lewis in the area of communication so please pray that Justin and I will have wisdom to make this choice well.
