It's a start!

One of my current goals is to move from the bottle to a sippy cup with Boston. Up until now it has NOT gone well. I am a big fan of keep trying but he has to be ready and want to do it to. We put them up for awhile - all 50 types/styles/variations that we thought be might use.
This morning he REALLY wanted a drink of my coke zero (no hate mail please) he took a couple of sips out of the side of my cup and kept coming back for more - so I ran to the cabinet - grabbed the first sippy I saw and dumped in some coke - YES! He took about 8 drinks.
We had to take out the "stopper" that makes it spill proof. (which explains the double bib!) His muscles still aren't quite ready for that much sucking I guess - but it is a start! I figure if he gets the hang of it this way....we can add the "stopper" in later.
I did end up dumping the pop and filling it with water& juice - which he tolerated ;) We shall see!

LOVE this video SO much. My hope for Boston is that everyone will not see Down Syndrome but see everything amazing that he is now and everything amazing he is yet to be!

Boston's NEW shirt!!

OT with Miss Heidi

Yep, it was a "lets to therapy in our jammies" kind of mornings but Boston did GREAT!
Although he was NOT sure about the Cookie Monster toy at all! Look at his face :)
Working on picking up the balls and then pushing them back through - lots of fine motor!
Stacking blocks - he did it ONCE and I got it on film - wooohoooo!
Boston would spend the entire hour on the exercise ball if Heidi would let him!
Boston is coming along pretty well with his OT goals.....my little guy works so hard!!!

New jammies :)Of course this kid is cute in just about anything!

love this kid....and his t-shirt!

Boston has had some pretty great tshirts over the past two years....Aunt Kristin finds the best ones! The shirt he had on yesterday is one of my favorites. Of course trying to get a picture of him wearing it was a challenge to say the least, oh well!?! Enjoy the cuteness!

A few more pictures:)
