Dansons in Delaware

Michael is getting mobile. His developments this far:

1. He scoots backwards pretty well. He uses his arms and pushes his whole body backwards while on his belly.
2. He rolls everywhere. When he can't get to a toy, he reaches and reaches and then tries to roll.
3. He can pivot in a circle using his belly as the center point. He'll use his arms to move his upper body around while balancing on his belly.
4. When standing, he can hold onto furniture (but we need to be there to catch him when he gets tired) and take small steps to the left and right occasionally.

These 4 actions usually get him to whatever toy he is trying to reach. My nanny says she has seen him get on his knees and arms and pick his torso up off the ground, but then he kind of loses his balance and rolls over. I am going to watch closely for this because I have not seen it yet! Must happen very quickly.

Every night when Brian comes home, he gives Michael P.E.!! I am not so great with the physical stuff so I read a lot to him and help his language skills. Brian works on his motor skills!

Love,
P
