Gobble, gobble!

At almost 11 months, Gregory seems to be progressing at his own leisurely pace.  He is still sporting a single front tooth and today, started to carry on conversations with us (and himself) by generating what sounds like a bunch of wild turkeys talking to each other!

We are starting to read to him more diligently, so we hope his verbal skills will improve soon.

Believe it or not, we have committed ourselves to NOT watch television and I think that is helping.  Not only do we avoid all those flashing tube signals (and possibly scrambling his little brain), in place we spend more quality time together.  Yes, it is much, much harder to do it this way, rather than plopping him in front of a television set.  With all the hoopla about autism, maybe avoiding “empty” stimulus is a good thing?
