New and Improved

James is learning so many new things!

How to stand:

We were lucky enough to borrow this "dinosaur" of a stander from the early intervention office.  He has a platform to stand on and the front leans forward slightly so it is a little easier to stay upright.  We are so grateful to have it, but people keep telling us it is old and, ideally, we need something else.  I don't mind at all, it does the job, helping James put weight through his legs!  He is getting more comfortable and we hope to do a couple segments a day so he practices for about an hour.  James was cast for orthotic shoe inserts today.  They will help support his ankles (they roll in when he stands), keep his toes from curling under, and give his low-tone muscles a little help.

How to play:


Sitting with the big kids, James played his first game of "Duck, Duck, Goose"!  

How to snuggle:

James has always been good at this one, but he has been stellar lately!

With love.
