Gavin has had a few sessions of speech therapy so far. The problem we're focusing on right now is lip closure. Since Gavin smiles so much he almost never closes his lips properly to form words, talking with his mouth open instead. So to train his lips I bought him a recorder (horn) to blow, and we've been playing a lot with bubbles to get him to say "pop" correctly. If Gavin really wants something a lot I can get him to use his lips correctly in pronouncing words. The rest of the time his mouth is still open.
Gavin also likes to Zumba lately. There is an informercial selling DVDs of a Latin inspired dance workout called Zumba. It is almost always on one channel or another. Gavin loves to watch the video and do his zumba dance. He even asks for it by doing a little of dance and pointing at the tv.
