Megan has been gluten-free for 4 days now, counting today. This afternoon when I got her up from nap something wonderful happened again. She looked me straight in the eyes and her eyes were aligned without her glasses on. In the 10-15 minutes we were in her room she maintained eye contact with me about 40% of the time, at least; and her eyes were in perfect alignment the entire time.
She had a clarity about her eyes - they seemed extremely connected to me.
We got this same results when we started her on the first enzyme a few months ago and it stayed around until we had to stop it for her testing; and for some reason it didn't return when we started it again after the testing.
She is verbalizing a ton today. She is approximating words on a consistent basis - just chiming in to say a word while we are talking to her.
Yesterday we had family over to play games and have dinner. We were playing games during nap time so when Megan got up there were several people sitting around the dining room table. Megan walked over to the table and climbed into an empty chair. She sat there and just listened to the conversation, watching each person as they talked. Every once in a while she would comment on something someone said by pointing to them and babbling/grunting in their direction. At one point they were playing with her new hot potato, throwing it around the table and she played with them; throwing it to something after it had been thrown to her. Eventually it was more fun to throw it over her shoulder away from everyone. It was awesome to see her interested in what was going on and participating when she could.
