A Few GREAT Days

I am ecstatic right now! Theo has made some big leaps over these last few days!

He rolled from his back to tummy and then from tummy to back; ate sweet potatoes and chocolate; is talking A LOT more; sat on my lap and held is head up (all by himself) for TWO minutes, AND he giggled!

My heart could explode!

Theo has been able to roll onto his side for some time now but anytime he starts to roll over he corrects himself. He really hates to be on his tummy. On Sunday, April 22nd, Theo rolled from his back to tummy and then immediately from his tummy to his back. I wasn't able to catch it on video but here are a few videos of him trying:

We've tried every type of baby food and Theo is just not that interested. Our only success has been apples baby food. And I consider it a success because I shove the apples in his mouth and he doesn't spit them out. Yesterday, April 26th, he tried Puffs for the first time and was not a fan. Later that night we tried sweet potatoes again and he ate half the container! I was even more excited because he was actually opening his mouth and eating off the spoon (instead of having the food shoved in his mouth). I am especially excited about this because the Early Interventions Developmental Therapist mentioned having a specialist in eating come and look at him. But now that he is eating correctly, we may not have to go through that additional therapy.

I've been waiting almost nine months to hear my son giggle and he did it the first time on Tuesday, April 24th. It's hard to capture it on video, but if you listen closely you can hear him giggle at the end of this video:
