Now that Caleb is crawling, he has new territory to explore. He reminded me of the curious little kitten the other day when he was exploring the back yard.
Caleb has a love-hate relationship with dogs. He wants to get close to them and then when he does or when they bark it scares the tar out of him and he looses it, quickly gets over it and wants more. It’s silly. Here he is at the neighbor’s fence looking for their dogs.
Our therapist is hoping that since now he is crawling it will help his feet do what they are supposed to do. The dragging of his feet with the top of them on the ground is exactly what we want to see. (when he was rolling and/or NOT doing tummy time as a baby, he didn’t get that)
Also we are trying to get him to relax his feet when in sitting. He keeps his feet flexed instead. We are supposed to help massage/pull/encourage them to get more to the relaxed or “pointed” position. They are not stiff and are easy to encourage, we just need it to become his normal. Next time you are sitting on the floor(similar to how C is sitting) notice how your feet just naturally relax. Things only a therapist would notice…(but that help him to progress to the next step)
NOTE:the sad faces are only because he was mad I was taking his pictures!
