We actually go for L's well visit in the morning. I was going to mention to his doctor that he wasn't crawling; however, I knew he have a little longer before it is a problem, and I need to call BabyNet about him ;) We have been so pleased with his development so far, but I am sure I will continue to follow him CLOSELY! It seems like L's gross motor skills are what stay right in the typical range, but I see him doing other things fairly early. I suppose the truth that as some skills become stronger, others aren't necessarily also progressing as fast is something to remember. J's OT did watch L one afternoon as we discussed J, and she pointed out the things that you look for in a child his age. She said he looked completely fine. Relief! Looking back, I know J's language and fine motor skills had to have been delayed but not enough to alarm me as a first time mommy or his doctor. L's pediatrician is much more concerned about milestones being met, and I am thankful! I know I have an eye and ear for development in a way that I didn't even have as a teacher and an acceptance and HUGE appreciation for intervention! I hear about moms all of the time who don't want to get that necessary evaluation for fear of the results...I was there two years ago. But, I am so happy I got J the help and my only regret is that it wasn't before 19 mos.!
THE Truck :)The boys are definitely interacting more. J will try hard to make L laugh. Then, they giggle together! Friday morning I was busily running around trying to get ready for MOPS. I heard L giving this great belly laugh! I walked down to see J dancing around for him, laughing with him. Precious! Even more, I saw the very bus that J had a hard time sharing with L the day before sitting right in front of L. J said he gave it to him when I asked. I am proud of that boy! I wish everyone could know his tender heart like we do!
