What Rex Has Been Doing

Rex has been home with us for about ten weeks now and it feels like the things he has learned are piling up and are beginning to get away from me. So, I decided to make a list of everything just to be able to remember. In no special order, these are some of Rex’s major accomplishments since joining our family:

Balanced, steady walking

Walking well in shoes and walking on uneven surfaces

Climbing stairs on all fours

Climbing stairs holding on to spokes of the railing

Clapping

Waving hi/bye

Drinking from a cup with assistance

Signing more and finished

Understanding ASL for more, finished, yes, no, good, stop, music

Understanding short instructions in English (not that he always follows through)

Pushing with an isolated index finger or thumb

Putting things in

Sleeping through the night

Riding in shopping carts

Tolerating sensory input and changes in routine better

Regulating his emotions better
