Tyler visited some relatives this weekend and they hadn't seen him in a while. They commented at how great his complexion looks, i.e. not sickly (just a reminder that this changed when we switched him to the gfcf diet). She also mentioned how he's making great eye contact, even with the people he didn't know. His sounds seem to be more appropriate for language vs. grunts or squeels. And she said he definetly has a way at getting his point across and making sure his needs are meant, even if he doesn't speak them.
So that's great news. It's always great to have feedback from family who do not get to see him very often. we see him every day and sometimes miss those little successes or changes that happen so gradually we may not notice them.
