Progress!

It is no secret that Justin and I have been working with Hannah to get this little lady moving. We are basically "Crawling and Rolling" experts. We sought out professional help through Elk River's Early Childhood program, had Hannah assessed, and she now qualifies for weekly physical therapy sessions. Meanwhile Justin and I have been putting Hannah through "Rolling to Crawling Boot Camp." We religiously stick to a routine of exercises and Hannah has been a champ through it all. (Do not mistake "champ" for enjoying these exercises.) She has persevered through blood, sweat and tears. Okay.....not "blood".....but you get the point....
It is all about disguising the exercises....

We start out having a little fun and slowly move onto our belly...

I quickly learned that Hannah loves my camera strap and so I used it to my advantage as a crawling incentive. As she "inchwormed" her way to me, she was not pleased.

Hannah is working SO hard, she is making Justin and I very proud. Tonight after dinner she practically put me in tears when she did this for the first time on her very own...

She did it over-and-over again. Hopefully there will be some forward movement and coordination between those legs and arms. But for now- we're celebrating the small things!! Good Job Hannah!!
