PT with Shawn. I went back half- way through her session to observe and learn some new things to do with Avery. Shawn had her standing in this huge contraption...I think it was called a Walking Danny...not sure on that.  She was all strapped in and standing and playing with toys.  She looked like such a big girl.  We don't get to see her standing t...hat often. She said she wants to get Avery standing as much as possible. She sent home a walker with us to see if Avery would work with it at home. She also would like us to have her crawl over anything possible...make an abstacle course and put her favorite thing on the other side of it so she has to work for it!  We need to get this girl strong! Shawn also mentioned having her "cruise" along the couch...which is standing and stepping sideways while holding onto the couch.  Good ideas and a change of pace for us = good!
P.S. Shawn wants us to get a script for some braces for her ankles and feet to help her get moving! Lets cross our fingers that insurance will cover them....I will be calling Monday!
