Jaxon’s Story
Jaxon has limited “baby talk” but can and does make noises and his parents have started to introduce Makaton. He is able to feed himself finger food but not yet use a spoon.
Jaxon loves singing, playing with blocks, and is generally a happy little boy, unless being made to stand for any length of time!
