Small steps

William has been doing quite well.

His heart has been doing all the right stuff with the cardiologist remaining very happy with how things were going at his last review. He even extended the time until the next check-up to six months - a great endorsement of Williams stability at the moment.

On the feeding front William has been making some progress. He has been having intensive speech pathology and has actually swallowed two teaspoons of water! He will put a spoon into his mouth now, and will even accept tastes of things (if he is in the mood). He has a few foods which he will repeatedly put onto his tongue himself!
He loves to imitate his brother and sister and he really enjoys sitting up at the table at mealtimes with his bowl and spoon.

Will's mobility is improving with an increasing amount of time spent on his feet. He will walk holding on to someone's hand, will cruise around furniture and just over a week ago he took his first two steps on his own!

He is a gorgeous little boy with a beautiful nature (even though that tends to being a little too cheeky at times). He is a joy!
