Happy Summer!!

Its about time!  I was starting to think that summer was never going to show up!  Pretty soon we will be complaining about how bad the mosquito's are!  Im happy to report that we finally received Westins new braces.  I took 5 weeks!1  I guess there was a communication issue between Bruce our brace maker and the ordering Dr.  Whatever the reason was, we are happy to have them!  So far Westin has been doing really well with them.  We weren't sure how  long he would be able to wear them starting out, because he is able to use quite a bit more muscles.  As soon as we put them on he starting spining in circles and saying "fancy" So I think he likes them just a little bit!  Travis is also excited because I let him pick the design this time and of course he choose camo!  Typical male!!!

Two weeks ago we also started feeding therapy.  While I am not thrilled about adding something else to our weekly schedule, we knew something had to be done.  While Westin eats, he eats very little and not a very large variety by any stretch of the imagination.  When it comes to eating I had no idea how involved it is.  Its really interesting to see all of the steps there are!  We have had 2 sessions so far, and progress is slow but I kinda expected that.  I knew it wouldn't change overnight.  But we are working on it.  Its frustrating at meal time when you can make him a whole plate with sever choices and he takes one look and says "All Done!" ggrrrrrrrr...... so frustrating!  So we are are also learning that meal time has to always stay positive no matter what crazy things Westin decides to say or do with his food!

Other then that not much else is new in the world of Westin..  He is learning so many new words everyday and he talks so clear!  Its fun to watch him learn and explore.  He loves to be outside.  He would spend all day every day outside if I would let him!  He is also so polite.  My favorite is when its bed time I say OK Westin its time for bed, and he responds with " No, Thank You"!  Enjoy the rest of your week!
