Where does he stand now?
Manually, he is now able to clap his hands together. He's been doing it since the start of April. He has become more skillful in using his hands to grab objects and to transfer them from one hand to another.
In the department of language, he is now able to vocalize various sounds as an effort to converse with us. We feel that his understanding of emotions, people and surroundings has also improved.He uses a simple choice board to communicate his choices with us.We use the yes/no board now and we plan to make upgrade it by end of June.

What else happened?
We went to a nearby shopping mall this week and SK loved the bright environment. He had a great time in a juice shop grabbing everything in sight and feeling various textures of things around him.
He can very well distinguish between edible and non-edible items.Whenever he is handed an edible item he makes this smacking sound with his mouth and/or starts drooling..
We are so happy that he is getting back on track. So, we have made this week's plan to have a little more of everything especially crawling and patterning. Let's see how well it goes!
