Sitting!

Tyler can totally sit up unattended all by himself! He's been so close for awhile, and he's really doing it now!

He's also starting to spend more and more time on his tummy and can handle (happily) 5-7 minutes of it. We've also been working on trying to get him to bear weight on his legs, because he has this strange adversion to want to stand up. I don't like knowing that my 10 month old still isn't able to freely move around on his own, but everyone who's evaluated him says it's completely normal for us to notice setbacks of gross motor development in Tyler's case. All we can do is work with him, and one day I suppose it will all click and he'll have enough strength and will power to want to conquer it all. I mean, he's just now sitting up (something that a healthy 4 month old can do) so maybe in another six months (when he's 16-17 months old) we'll be seeing him crawl and/or walk.

Parents As Teachers came today. We had a fun time and Bobbi loved what she saw! She is impressed with how well he's acting, communicating, and moving in only three weeks since surgery. Our next appointment with her is July 18th.
