Last week she showed me a really cool way to get him to practice his standing and do good weight bearing. She had him stand in a corner and she sat cris cross apple sauce style right in front of him so they were face to face. That way he couldn't escape. She let him stand in the corner while she played patty cake games with him with songs. He loved it! It got him using his hands and arms too! She also worked on trying to get him to crawl one leg at a time instead of doing the bunny hop that he has been doing. So she would follow behind him and hold one foot down at a time and keep switching off that way he would really do the motions of one leg at a time. He did really well.
Today she took him into the big gym! He worked on crawling up steps and backing down them properly instead of trying to leap head first to get down. He did a lot of cruising between furnitures and walking with assistance. He actually got to walk on the treadmill for the very first time today! It took him a minute to figure it out but after he did he did a really good job! She told us that he should walk one day! (best news!) That based on what she has seen there is no reason why he wouldn't! It was a really good day!
