I can stand

Jay can pull himself up at the sofa!  Way to go Jay, your legs are getting so strong!  Now's he's all up in my business when I'm on the sofa.  Humphf....

He's made such huge strides since November.  He's learned to crawl, drink from and hold his sippy cup, feed himself anything from ravioli with a fork to Cherrios with his hands.  He does sign language for "more" and "milk".  He puts his arms up when you say "arms up".  He'll walk with you holding his hands and now he can get to standing on his own.  IN 4 MONTHS, when we first took him with us at 16mos old he could barely stay sitting up.   He's gained 3+ lbs and 3+ inches since being with us.  He's doing so well and we're very proud of him.  He's very curious and makes the funniest sing song sounds.  And what about that smile?!

His surgery is scheduled for April 6th.  After that he'll start working with a speech therapist and I imagine if he progresses like he has been doing he'll be saying words in no time. 
That's all for now.  Hugs!
