Nice! Keep it up.
Something to try out, put weight on the bar that you know you won't be able to squat, move the cross bars, or whatever they're called, up (unless you're using the Smith machine), so that you can squat the weight about 6-10 inches down, let it hit the bars, and lift it back up. This will give your body an idea of what that weight feels like on your back.
