It may not seem like much for people watching this.... but the fact she is in a sitting position and pulling herself up to standing is a HUGE step in the right direction. To be able to then pull her self up and walk on her own. You would think the fact that she "walks" in between people she would just learn it, to know how to walk on her own then. Well, there is a crucial step (no pun intended. hehe) that she is going to have to learn first and that is the transition position, pulling herself up. Once she learns this then the world just opens up. She realizes that she can do it herself. Also, in learning her transition positions she is building the necessary muscles to balance correctly while walking. So if you want to get your baby moving. Teach them transitioning! From sitting to laying, laying to sitting and so on. That is the key. If you have a motor driven child you won't have to teach them those things. But if you have a monkey like mine, you will.
Paige's Dr. brought this amazing chair to the house for us to use. We have been working with Paige to teach her how to pull herself up to standing. Paige just HATES being on her knees for some reason. Too much work I guess. HA. She is NOT motor driven at all! She would rather scoot around on her bum or just sit and play with the same 4 toys within reach for a long time. (yes... I know... I am blessed!!)
I am just amazed with the progress she is making just having the chair for one day. I think we will be actually getting up and down and walking soon. :)
