Today we started out with physical therapy and wouldn't you know that our PT had Dylan vertical?!!
It felt so odd seeing him upright like that, as I am completely used to seeing him swiffering around the house. Seeing him standing like this...
...it brought tears to my eyes, it really did.
I understand that it may take some time before the little guy is able to do this independently, but oh how I LOVE to see progress!!
Then this afternoon: OT. I'm not quite sure I can express how conflicted I often feel about Dylan's feeding. Some days he does well, most days he does not. Today? It was a good day. A very good day.
His OT guided him with self feeding. Self feeding?!! Seriously?
Guided standing and guided self-feeding in one day.
It all makes me feel exactly like this:
You GO Dylan! I am so very proud of YOU.

It makes me CRAZY when one of the squiblets will do something for their therapists that I can't get them to do for me at home.
I always threaten that I'm going to make them stop by our house on a daily basis...
What a pretty stand that boy is showing off! Once he's got that feeding trick mastered, send him OUR way...we can use ALL the help we can get. Way to GO, Dylan!
LOVE IT!!!!
I am totally crying and those pictures are beautiful. You are a great writer and I love your blog!
That last picture is priceless, he looks so happy for himself, and he should be! What a big day, so great!!
i feel like Jimmy and Dylan are at the same exact stage. I haven't given Jimmy a spoon but I am supposed to. Way to go Dylan! Keep up the great work Mom!
Oh, I can totally relate. There are so many days that therapy just feels like another appt to keep, but then that day comes along when there is big progress and it makes all the other days worth it!
That's so awesome! Way to go, little one!
Oh that last photo says it ALL!!!! Hands in the air saying YAHOO Dylan!!!!
Yay Dylan!! He looks so big standing there and the feeding pics are wonderful.
I have tears of pride for him too. You rock Dylan.
Way to go Dylan. That is awesome. You must be so happy. Those are 2 biggies in one day. Lucky you. Dylan is looking so happy and proud of himself standing and eating. Fund
