Finnian's Journey: Lookie Here

"Y'all - don't miss it. Don't get so caught up in what your sweet baby is doing or not doing. Don't obsess about this step or the next step or the one after that or what is going to happen twenty years down the line. Because one day you'll look at baby pictures and think about how adorable that baby was and how all you can remember is therapy and you can't even remember what her hair smelled like.

So, ENJOY your baby. It doesn't matter when they walk or crawl or talk. It matters that they are here and that you love them and that they know it.

Just don't miss it."

Lookie Here

This isn't the best picture, but Finn is now bearing weight on his legs! Woo hoo! He can actually bear most of his weight for a few seconds at a time with one of us holding his hands for balance. Santa is so going to bring him a new Jumperoo for Christmas!

~~~

I've been getting quite a few comments lately that Finn is starting to resemble Michael more. Seriously?! I don't see it.

I do, however, see a resemblance to Elmer Fudd ;)

Lisa, I was reading in your earlier posts and saw you mentioned you take Fin once a week for P/T.When did you start that? Ruby's P/T and O/T didn't think she needed therapy yet and are going to evaluate her again at 6 months.Should I be worried they aren't working with her?Her O/T has a teen daughter with DS.; December 15, 2008 at 4:20 PM
