Struggling.

Spencer has been home from the NICU for three years.  As his gift, we bought him a small helicopter, that he loves.  We plan on going to the pound later in the month, after our Cincinnati appointments coming up, and let him pick out a pet if he chooses.

I've been really struggling with Spencer's disabilities lately.  The hardest one is that he can't talk, and he likely will always struggle to use speech.  I would kill to hear him ask me a question, or tell me how he's feeling.  I know he'll talk...whether it be with a device or not, but he should be talking my ear off now and it's hard that he's not.  It's hard that he doesn't have a voice.

Quinn is doing awesome.  Spencer's even starting to warm up to her and steals her toys on occasion.  She is just starting to lift her head up during belly time (which she hasn't had a ton of).  She's "talking" up a storm.  Jimmy started cooing, and Quinn did it back.  They took turns in doing it for a while and even Spencer did it once or twice. 

He is doing awesome with his eating.  He still doesn't know quite what to do with ground beef yet.  He loved soft tacos, but struggled to get the meat down too.  He sloshes the soft taco shell in his mouth.   Next time I'm going to do hard shell ones and that should help him chew.  He ate over half a pita pizza pocket the other day.  He'll be ready for a happy meal in no time.
