We're making progress

Today Justin ate 5 of the Gerber graduates puffs during his OT session. I know you're probably thinking "so what, big deal" but this is HUGE for Justin. Until recently he gagged and threw up whenever anything thicker than pureed foods touched his mouth so it looks like the mouth stretches are working. Hilary (his occupational therapist) was very happy with his progress so now the focus is on getting him to feed himself.

Well wouldn't you know he fed himself when we got home from OT. He's been grabbing the spoon and putting it in his mouth since we started solids but he's never grabbed/reached for finger foods. But I went ahead and put about 6 puffs on his tray and he grabbed and ate 3.

Here are some pictures from dinner time. Note to self: don't leave a bowl of food on the tray if you actually want the food to get into your child's stomach.
