We have had a lot of good changes in the past couple of weeks! Ryan has been visiting with his physical therapist once a week now for about a month and a half or so. About a week or so ago, Michael and I decided we have GOT to spend 1 hour a night working with Ryan. So many nights we play and do a lot of things and all of a sudden it is bed time and we have not worked on standing up, balance, etc. Since we have done this, Ryan is pulling up ALL the time! Thank you Lord! It makes me a little teary to think about how far he has come just this week! His balance is greatly improving just in the last couple of days and he is falling better now...meaning he is learning to put his bottom down first when he wants to sit instead of falling back and expecting momma and daddy to catch him. His legs, ankles, knees and hips are working together better now.
Earlier this week, I called to talk to his therapist about how Ryan's legs seemed so wobbly and unsteady. He said it was just a work in progress and his legs are gradually getting stronger. He also said that 18 months is late normal for walking so we are still in the ballpark with Ryan.
He is also saying a lot more sounds. We think he is almost saying "book" and "uh oh".
I am so proud of him! He seems proud of himself too :)
