So far in his little life, Liam has had two greetings. The first was blowing a raspberry. We were successful in nipping that in the bud because as Zachary told him, "That may be cute now but you're reaching the age where it might not be pretty soon." His next and current greeting was and is pointing to his nose and saying "NAH!" So people will greet him and say "Hi! How are you?!" in their excited baby voices and Liam will reply "NAH!" They think he's saying "no" so we quickly let them know he's recently learned where his nose is he wants to let everyone else in on his little secret. We've had countless people ask for a high five and I'm always uncomfortable when they make this request because I know it's not going to happen and that he's going to identify his favorite body part instead. But that changed today! Liam had a physical therapy evaluation today at Cypress Creek Therapy. They were so professional and the office was so nice- we are really optimistic about him making a lot of progress here but what was immediately exciting was that he gave two people high fives. It may not sound like something most parents would make a big deal over but for him to put together what someone is asking of him and the actual action is really exciting! Things just seem to be coming so much faster to him these days. As I type this he has been walking all over the apartment- down the hall, into the kitchen, back out of the kitchen, into the living room... I'm just so proud of him and this is all happening without any physical therapy appointments in a month and a half so it'll be so exciting and rewarding to see what happens starting next week when he gets back to going to PT twice a week!
