Physical Therapy Update

Cedie's physical therapy is going great. Today her therapist said she could really tell how much stronger Cedie is. She has improved so much in the short time that she has been able to get therapy at home. She is pulling herself into a sitting position all the time now (she just won't stay that way). Its really cute because she just pops up, looks around, and then plops right back down. She does this alot in her bouncy seat.

On the flip side, when she is determined not to sit up in an upright position, she lets nothing stop her! She has figured out how to get out of her bumbo chair! She arches her back and straightens her legs until she makes herself fall backwards (not a really good thing...).

She has also discovered that she likes to stand up straight. Just a couple weeks ago she was real resistent to put any pressure on her feet. Now she seems to really like it when we hold her in that position.

I read on the CHARGE listserv the other day that a 29 month old Charger just started walking. They say that is a more typical walking age for these kiddos. Some walk even much later than that. We are in no rush though. Cedie is on her own time table and we are happy with that! Since she spent most of her 1st year in the hospital, and her health is so fragile, we learned not to take any of this time for granted and we are throughly enjoying each step of her amzing progress into toddlerhood!
