Bree Gives Paige A Run For Her Money

Over the past two weeks Bree has really began to shine. She is rolling over from back to belly and belly to back. She also cut another tooth, which makes two for Bree and zero for Paige. Paige was usually the one to do things first but Bree has really picked up the pace. Paige does have one trick that Bree can't do. She likes to put her toes in her mouth. They have both come so far since their diagnosis and we are very proud of them. OT/PT has given both of them a boost in their development. Their biggest roadblock is they have trouble bearing weight on their hands. They insist on having their hand in their mouth at all times which makes it hard to encourage them to push themselves up when they're on their bellies. So sitting is further in their future then we had hoped. I was hoping they would be sitting by their first birthday on October 29, but that doesn't seem reasonable. You take for granted how hard it really is for a baby to meet their milestones when they have disabilities. Their helmets may come off next month, so they may have better balance after that. We still take it one day at a time.
