starting to crawl


April 25th,2009
16 months old
He finally took a few crawling moves and fell flat on his tummy.
What an exciting milestone to finally reach. One week later and he is cralwing about 4 feet now. He is also going from his tummy to a sitting position. I always have my back to him when he does this but I finally go to witness it and within a week he can get into the sitting position with no problem.
Shawn was sitting in his crib playing while I was putting up a closet organizer in his closet and turned around and he was standing !!! That was on April 13.
He has only pulled himself up to a stand just a couple time using the couch but he can do it everytime from his crib. It is great to see him getting stronger and those muscles building.
He can comb his hair. Well he tries anyways.
He has 4 teeth on top and 4 on bottom and he is getting molar coming in.They haven't popped through the gums yet.
Haha I am laughing at my son. I got him an Einstein video today and he is so engrossed in it and laughing.
He is also learning what the buttons on his toys do. Push the button and it plays music. Put the ball in the top and it comes out the bottom but you have to open the door to get the ball out.
He still only says DaDa but only a few times a week and MaMa once in a great while.

He had a speech evaluation done this past week and in the 2 areas they tested him in,
Auditory Comprehension-10 mo old
Expression-8 mo old

He will start speech therapy but since he goes to physical therapy once a week and occupational therapy once a week, adding speech once a week also is going to be to much for my busy scedual so I am going to alternate OT and speech every week.
