Car seat- This has always been a fight with us. Finn hated the car seat ever since he was alive...he would just scream bloody murder until you took him out. But in the last few weeks something has changed. Finn does not hate the car seat anymore. He just one day stopped crying in the car. He can even make it to my parent's house 2 hours away and not cry anymore. He will even fall asleep some times! This is HUGE progress for us. It was always a nightmare to go anywhere and now it's no big deal.
Stroller- This kinda went hand in hand with the car seat. But now he loves his stroller. He especially loves being outside. It is like is favorite thing to have the sun on his face and the wind in his hair. This is progress because now I can take him for long walks and he doesn't mind it...he will even fall asleep in the stroller.
Milk/Soy allergy- GONE!! Finn can finally have dairy!!! This was HUGE news for us. The formula that Finn was on was SO EXPENSIVE! But he is now officially off the formula and is drinking whole milk and he really likes it...especially when I add chocolate :)
Trunk control - Finn has strengthened his trunk control so much in the last couple of weeks. He only needs a little support when he sits on the floor AND his control helps him to be able to do this:
Standing on his own! Granted he can not pull himself up into this position, but he does not need his walker to stand anymore. He can keep his head up and maintain balance for a good few minutes. It's pretty great to see.
Finn has also added a new consonant sound to his babbling...L's. I swear he has said the word 'love' a couple of times, but every time I try to record him, he stops.
These changes might seem small to some, but they are beacons of hope for us. Finn continues to grow, learn, and change. And as long as he keeps doing this then I believe there is nothing this amazing kid can't do.
