chewin my oranges

This video may not be very impressive to most people but we were very excited about this little video. The reason we were excited was because I could put an orange in the middle of his mouth and he was just chewing it up. Most of his food is blended. He also sometimes has issues with "slimy" foods.
This is exciting and new because:
1. I don't have to put the food in the side of the mouth to insure chewing happens.
2. He is moving the food to the side with his tongue.
3. He is chewing it up and not trying to swallow it whole.

Yeah!!! I also wanted to show his speech therapist-Miss Adriane (hope i spelled that right?)

*Please note that a finger (mine)was not lost in the making of this video.

WONDERFUL!!! That second orange looked like he was a pro! Keep it up...I will never forget the sense of relief when we didn't have to buy baby food or smash everything!! Enjoy your new skills, Christian!!
