I am amazed at how well Mary is doing!

Mary is really progressing, with fine motor skills (she has watched Napoleon Dynamite, and his fav phrase is "you have to have skills." He sounds like is is quoting his guidance counselor).

Anyway, Mary has been feeding herself bite size foods for quite some time now. She can pick up individual cheerios, which is indicative of good fine motor SKILLS, and more than that, she appears to be understanding what we say. She will clap her hands upon request (without modeling), has responded to her name, brings specific objects over when asked, turns pages in books, and lots of other little things that I see, and I say , that is really something!

ok, enough bragging...
