Riley had a physical therapy appointment on Monday and the therapist was very pleased to see his two new tricks. First, he's crawling, just a bit. And second, when you stand him up, he will pick up his feet, in an attempt to walk forward. These are both new with in the past month and hopefully he'll soon realize that crawling is much faster than scooting.
We've seen changes this week as well. On Tuesday, using a step at the park he stood up from a sit position for the first time. After that, he crawled up onto the stoop. Later that day, he sat down for the first time... a controlled sit, that is, other than just letting go and falling backwards. Finally, this morning I left him down by the entrance when I ran back up to the kitchen to get his cup. Thirty seconds later when I came back, he had crawled half way up the stairs!! I guess we just can't leave him anymore. I need to be retrained ;-)
