Day 601 - Working on Sitting Up & Signing for "More" Bananas 🍌
Tuesday, August 23rd, 2022 James had physical therapy in the morning and today we focused mainly on him sitting up by himself and crossbody weight bearing through his arms. Currently when James tries to get up he would prefer to use his stomach muscles over his arms which really isn't going to work. He needs to learn to roll to his side and to use both arms to get up, instead he only wants to use one arm while keeping his other arm out. Then he typically gets frustrated lays back down and slams his legs on the ground. When he does do it successfully (with the help of someone giving him a hand) he immediately gives himself a clap 👏 and looks around for recognition. It's so cute! In the last GIF you'll see that he uses the crib railings as monkey bars, moving around quickly. In the first video, James is up close and personal eventually taking the phone from Mom and playing with the popsocket which is his favorite. The second video is James signing for "more" banana...
