Max has been working on the fine art of crawling for a while now. When he's in his crib or on our bed he's all over the place, hands and knees motoring around. But he's been having trouble getting up on his knees while on the floor where there isn't as much traction. Today he mustered through the frustration of slipping around and got himself up and moving about. As the day wears on he's gotten better and better.
Because Max has gross motor delays we're even more excited by milestones like this one. He's about 4 months behind his corrected age in terms of gross motor skills. So, while he's 17 months old, and just about 14 months corrected, he's meeting gross motor milestones that most 9 or 10 month olds are hitting. He's getting there on his own time, just as he's been doing all along. We couldn't be happier with his progress and hard work.
He's pretty excited by his new found mobility too!
Max is so adorable!!!
