We have been seeing a physio and OT for the last couple of months to help with Matildas development as up to Christmas she was pretty much doing nothing.
At 7 months she learnt to roll from back to tummy,she would just lay there though, she could only just lift her head but was unable to go onto her elbows or hands.
At 9 months she learnt to go from tummy to back and she learnt to go up onto her elbows.
Now in the last 2 weeks (she is 10 months in 2 days) she is almost sitting, she can sit unaided for up to maybe 7 minutes and when on her tummy she is getting onto her knees, bum in air! Yay! although she is still only on her elbows, we are working on getting her up onto her hands.
She is turning into such a little character to now, just in the last month she has started laughing and putting her hands out to where she wants to go.
We were prepared that she may be delayed in all aspects of her development due to her chromosome deletion but she is doing so well.
At the moment we are going to physio and OT every 2 weeks. We are on the waiting list for early intervention so we will continue seeing our physio and OT until this goes through, I think it is still another couple of months away, I hope it comes up sooner as I am bit sick of driving into the city every fortnight... but at least I am seeing results!
My little girl is getting so smart!
