Levi

Levi has been on the GFCFSF diet for about 6 weeks now, and we have seen a jump in his development. (It was about a month to 6 weeks after Nate started the diet that we saw wonderful improvements in him.) We can't say for sure it's because of the diet (it could just be a natural development spurt that would have occurred anyway), but we are loving the new stuff he's doing and will stick with the diet for at least 6 months. Some of the new stuff includes pointing to desired objects and making noise (if he wants a drink, he gets my attention and points at the cup while nodding his head "yes." If I respond, "Do you want water?" he either signs "more," nods his head, or says "Yah!"), understanding quite a bit of what we say (e.g., "Give that to me," "Please sit down," "Put the toy in the bucket," "Do you want to go on a wagon ride?"), saying "Mama" and "Dada" appropriately, playing appropriately with toys (he can stack huge towers of blocks--it's so cute to watch how carefully he places the blocks), and more.

He also likes to be funny. The other day, he thought he was hilarious walking across the room with a puzzle piece in each hand and one in his mouth:



Silly boy!
