Update: Little Scooter

A lot has changed since my last post about Max's crawling (or lack thereof). I guess I need to be careful of what I pray for! He's into everything! (thank you Lord!) He's now scooting everywhere on his belly (army crawl) or on his bottom, usually in pursuit of a ball that keeps rolling farther away or something he shouldn't be into. As I type, he has worked his way out of my room across the hall and into Jake's room with all the toys. Babies change so fast! Today the ECI ladies came out and we determined that they'll work with him every other week for 30 minutes. The occupational therapist said that if they had evaluated him based on what he's doing today, he wouldn't qualify for services (b/c he's not delayed enough)! So all good news. Some of our goals for the ECI services are 1) him being able to crawl on his knees, 2) pull up to a standing position and 3) get to a sitting position alone. Andy said to let the ECI ladies know that we want him drafted by the NBA by age 20...

Now he's WAY down the hall almost to the bathroom! I'll post pictures of the little scooter soon. Thank you for your love and prayers!

That's awesome to hear! He just needed a little extra motivation. Good luck on that NBA by age 20 thing!!! :)

Yeah Max! He is getting ahead of the ECI ladies all on his own. I got to see him scoot a little in the nursery on Sun.....too cute. They have their own timing don't they?

I meant to ask you about the ECI on Friday but totally forgot!! I am glad God answered your prayers and am grateful I got to his the answer to your prayers on Friday when he was scooting a little!!!
Hope to see you soon again.
