My Rolling Monkey/ Stander

This may sound kind of weird to some people, but for those that understand and have kids that are a little bit behind, you will appreciate this.  My little Carter is rolling over both ways all the time!  He can't make it all the way to his stomach, but he is finally rolling BOTH ways and he loves it.  It is soo cute!  It makes changing his diapers and clothes a little more difficult, but I love it.  His physical therapist was very pleased because he can roll both ways, plus is soo close to going all the way to his tummy.  She said any kind of purposeful movement is excellent progress.

We are now working on getting him (or tricking him) into rolling all the way to his tummy.  Our other small high five is that Carter will now push up more when on his stomach.  He usually would relax and take a nap, but now he actually tries to lift up his head or arms.  Progress!  When we get him on all fours, he can actually stay up that way for a little bit.  We have to put him there, but it makes me smile to see my little guy trying so hard.  We are so glad of his progress, even if it is small and few and long in between.  We get a stander tomorrow, so let's hope he tolerates it okay!  I'm guessing we'll have to put him in it a few times a day, for like 30 min.  We want him to not only stand, but strengthen his bones and ankles.
