Update on Wesley in PT - mommy brag
mysweetpeasWil&Wes wrote: We got a really GREAT progress report today from our PT! She came for her weekly session this morning and she was amazed at how much Wesley has improved in such a short time. The reason we are seeing her is because he was only doing the army crawl using his right arm and pushing off with one foot. His left arm was not being used at all, just lying limp on his side. He is also pushing up on his tip-toes too much. So we have been working on getting him to crawl on all fours, doing the regular crawl and not the army crawl. We are also working on going up and down stairs by bending his knees and using both legs and arms to pull himself up. He does BOTH now just perfectly, crawling on all fours and going up and DOWN stairs with no problem. He is also pulling himself up on furniture and starting to walk along the edge of tables, sometimes even transfering from the table to the couch. I am amazed! So today she told me to buy him his first pair of high-top shoes which may help him keep his heels on the floor. I went to the Burlington Coat Factory and found a pair for $11...they look just like the Stride Rite pair I saw at Dillards that were going for $42! Just those cute white boots for first time walkers. I can't wait to put them on him and take a pic!
Our PT is gone for the next three weeks, but she thinks that when she returns, we will probably only need a few more sessions before Wesley will be completely done with PT! Yeah! Wow, they grow up fast.

KingMom replied: That's awesome, he'll be in trouble all the time before you know it
Calimama replied: How great! It sounds like he's making such huge leaps of progress!
mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: He's already there. He's in the "take everything out of mom's cupboards and drawers" phase. Drives me nuts, but its just something they love to do! I found him on top of the train table today throwing all the puzzle pieces on the floor. How he got up there all by himself, who knows!
