Cruisin' right along


Jessie has started to move, and isn't stopping anytime soon! She started crawling two weeks ago, and ever since has had a hard time sitting still or sleeping, because she's ready to take on the world!
This morning she had an assessment, and she's testing solidly in the 10-13 month range!!! Considering the fact that she was testing at 4-5 months as far as gross motor goes at her 1 year appointment, this is tremendous! By leaps and bounds, she's growing and gaining confidence and strength. While she still has a ways to go, the therapist thought she might be testing at or above standard by the time we move to Maryland. We continue to do weekly therapy sessions with her, and I'll be getting her assessed when we get there, but her in-home assessment was amazing. The therapist said that rarely does she get to see an infant making this kind of process, where from the point of referral (2 months ago) until now, she's gained many milestones. As far as speech, fine motor and problem solving abilities go, she's doing great. Now we're armed with new exercises and activities to do with her, and we'll see how she does. Huge praises!! Just thought I'd share the joy :)
