Look, no hands...almost

Just a quick post to let everyone know we are trucking along.  Andrew is just moving so much more every day.  He really wants to stand alone, and will probably get there before too long.  He is still trying to learn the art of feeding himself Cheerios, and again, I think he will get there soon.  He enjoys going outdoors and getting sunshine, and we are trying to do that a couple of times a day.  He is really learning so much about his voice.  When we first met him, his verbal skill were estimated at about a 4-5 month old, and I think this is his biggest advance so far.  He just babbles and loves to experiment with different vocal ranges.  He laughs at himself a lot, and at his goofy parents that love to tickle and amuse him.  He actually seems to be so happy.  We are still working on the sleep issues, but they seem to be improving in small steps.  At least last night when he woke up, he didn't want to play for an hour plus.  He went back to sleep rather easily.  Who knows what tonight will bring.  I am prepared for sleep to be a bit of a journey, but remain hopeful that as he continues to acclimate, he will sleep a little more soundly.  I will post again soon.  Have a nice day!
