Cole: Has legs, will use them

Coleman is crawling. Can I get a what what?

He crawled across our bed, the friction of the blanket kept his legs behind him. And so, we keep doing it. And keeping at it is working. The rest will follow, this I am sure. He is getting more confident with standing and taking a hand away to grab something. Also, when I pick him up or set him down, he goes to standing automatically. The mood has shifted here at our house to excited and hopeful.

The doctors found nothing physically wrong with his joints after a battery of tests, so the minor motor delay is because of a learned behavior picked up during the time he had his splint. Which is good in its own special way.
