Meeting milestones

We have been working with a physical therapist every Saturday morning since May, and Scarlett's made lots of progress with her gross motor skills.

What we're most excited about is tummy-time. Scarlett has gone from absolutely refusing to be on the floor (she would scream and scream on her tummy or back) to finally, finally being able to not only tolerate tummy time but enjoy it. She can push herself up with her arms now, and hold her head up high, too. We all worked very hard toward this goal, so I'm very proud of Scarlett. Yay!







She's doing great at sitting up, too, and she can sit in the middle of the floor with no help from us for about five minutes or so before falling over now.


We also finally got started with solid foods this month. I tried at first making my own baby foods (mashing bananas, etc.), and she wasn't enjoying it too much. But then the other night I tried a regular old jar of sweet potatoes and she loved them! She ate half the jar no problem.

And we finally got around to fixing our video camera, and this is the first video we made of Scarlett. She's bouncing around in her new seat. Enjoy!
