20 days since Gareth started his GFCF diet and I see a lot of development.

1. The poop smells normal and look normal. This is our primary problem eversince. When Gareth turn 1 year old, I was bothered of the color and texture of his poop. He was taking milk that time and the color is pure white and hard. It was not a normal poop of a baby.

2. Eye Contact - lately when we call his attention he is practicing eye contact. If I teach him something he always look at me. If he want something he look at my eyes and guide my hands. Just like this morning, when he wanted to change his diaper he just reached my hand and look at me in the eye and pointed his diaper.

3. Awareness - This is not so perfect yet but it is really developing. If we are singing his favorite song he will listen to us and repeat the songs too. Unlike before that he will not even give a simple hint that he is listening.

4. Imitation - Since Gareth was born, he is not imitating. Everytime he hears something that interests him, he will not imitate it. Lately, he is trying his best to imitate the songs and even the words I'm teaching him.

I am also keep on reading books that will guide me in handling him and those are very helpful. It helps me understand his case more.

I hope he will continue to learn more and show developments little by little.

As always, I will never give up in learning and teaching him ways to express his feelings easily and be able to adjust the "real world."
