I can remember going through that same thing when my husband was moving forward, and he was slow, too....two steps forward, three back..and it was frustrating because my expectations were TOO high! LOL!!
And so are YOURS at this point in time. It can make you crazy, though if you let it.
Looks to me like things are coming along; it's YOU who is impatient.

My H called me last night on his way home...I think he had been drinking and he told me he loves me. He followed it with "Are you shocked?" That is nice but why can't he say it to my face? Arrghh!!!
At least he SAID it, Upside, and that is all that matters right now. You will get that to your face, given time. Take what you can get for now, and please, be PATIENT with him; you don't want him running away again, and starting this all over again.
Continue to detach from his drama, and don't let it get to you so much. He really does appear to be coming right along nicely, although not fast enough for you.
Stop taking him so personally, and just let these moments/times happen as they will.
It is exciting to see them coming through, frustrating when they don't move fast enough to suit us.
But times such as these continue to increase patience.
You're getting movement toward you, and that's a good sign.
From what I can see, he's pursuing you some, as he's keeping up the phone calls; staying in touch, and coming around more.
Little by little he appears to be coming back toward you.
Please try to be understanding, this is hard for him, too.
Don't expect him to understand you, not yet..but it will happen; just NOT NOW.
Keep us posted.
Remember, as each person is different, every MLC/Transition is different..what works for one may not work for another. Most of the time it is trial and error for ALL involved.
