On Kayde's Time...

Oh how I love this boy....:) Kayde is now 9 1/2 months ( 7 months  adjusted ). So everyone knows kids set there own time line on when they are going to do things an learn new things, that I know yes. An yes Kayde will get there on his own time too, that I also know. He is doing great don't get me wrong, an is amazing and I am so proud of him.  He works very hard everyday. I am reminded all the time he will reach his milestones just a little later then others.  So I have tried very hard to adjust myself to that, my big goal for Kayde is to be sitting independently for his birthday. Lately I have been feeling down and feeling like we are not going to reach that goal. I know we have a few months still and I also know he is not really 1 or is not corrected age 1 until end of April, I feel guilty for feeling it but I feel I will be disappointed if he is not, not disappointed with him but disappointed within myself. If that makes sense??

Kayde and I have been working very hard developing core/trunk muscles. Lots of sitting on floor supporting hips and back, sitting on exercise ball rocking all directions working against gravity, also using Bumbo with tray. Last week at PT our therapist recommended using a block for Kayde to weight bear his hands on, so he wasn't bent right over looking at floor. OMG what a difference, an of course it would be but I had never thought about it. So need-less
to say it has done wonders with Kayde in just 2 weeks. He has reached his all time record as of yesterday sitting  45 sec all on his own weight bearing on the block in front of him....YYYYYYAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!! I can't even begin to tell you the joy I feel for this small but big progress forward. To see my lil man sitting looking up at me with that whole face smile knowing mommy is so proud of him..:) is priceless. I know as each day passes Kayde is gonna get stronger and better and my goal for him suddenly doesn't seem so far away. Kayde from day one has been the boss of himself when it comes to what he is gonna do, how he's gonna do it and when he's gonna do it and I should know by now just as I think other wise he proves me wrong every time. :) Thank you for that Kayde.
