Month 15

The therapists came on Friday. It was the first time so they just wanted to know where Xander stood. They played with him and gave him toys, then took them away,then gave him different toys... then took them away. He stood for them and sat up and smiled and laughed and eventually cried. He crawled four steps- the first ever. He reached for things and army crawled backwards (which had them all impressed). He sped around the room and rolled around. He let them know what he wanted and let them know what he thought of them when they didn't give it to him. They were quite impressed with our little man. Impressed and concerned. They noted his right leg- the side that his hip pops in and out. When he army crawls he kinda drags his right leg behind him. He doesn't use his right leg a lot. They think it might be a muscle thing. I feel relieved that someone else (in the medical community) has noticed his right side. The therapists were impressed with how far ahead he was in other area. He's a thinker and would try so hard to figure out what these ladies were here for. He's quite intelligent and we just have to get his little body to work right. He was so tired when they left... He likes buttons- remotes, cell, computer, anything with lights...
He loves playing with his friends...
He's working on getting down from a sitting position~ cheese, mom...
He loves his bouncer~ we got rid of the walker when the doctor stated it ruined babies hips...
Today's Sunday. Xander has been holding onto the furniture and is trying to reach across and grab onto the furniture across the way. He tries so hard and works and works on it. He tries to crawl but then drops down to his tummy and flies across the floor. That's my son... my little super hero...

Xander is such a hard little worker. Glad you have experts helping you guys along. He's such a cutie! We've sure missed you guys. Hopefully we'll see you at the Fall Festival tonight : )
