Scooting!

Caroline is on the move. She has discovered a way to move toward her toys. She has given up on rolling and has decided to scoot while sitting upright. She rocks on her bottom and scoots many inches at a time. She is also reaching really nicely across her body and side to side. We have to figure out to teach her to crawl. She can support head weight on arms, but she can not support her abdominal and hip weight at all. She is in her stander twice a day for 30 - 40 minutes. I am so excited of her progress as it is many months and times go by with little or no change in the direction of moving forward. I know I should not measure Caroline or myself in this way, but it is really hard and I think maybe a part of my human nature. I know it is not up to me as much as I want her to grow and achieve these milestones for the both of us. But most days I do feel responsible when little progress is not attained. Like I am being lazy or not doing enough for her. Thank you to many friends who support me by prayer even on the hard days and even when I do not know you are thinking of Caroline. Much love.
