more PT, kinda

Laurie is the primary therapist for Athan's First Steps Team, so she has to do a comprehensive developmental assessment before our next meeting. We were a bit sad to have to use therapy time to do the test because it might mean a pause in the progress he's been making. But it was pretty fun to see just how many skills he is acquiring across all areas of development.

This morning, for instance, we discovered that Athan tests at or ahead of age-appropriate expectations in several areas. Of course, some of the milestones are impossible for him because of his limited mobility (we have no idea whether or not he can use a door knob yet - he can't stand up). But it was fun to watch him demonstrate one skill after another very well - pointing to objects in a book, naming people in pictures, righting images that are upside down, getting objects out of a container by pouring, finding toys that are hidden under a blanket... on and on, one by one, he just played away like most kids his age. :)

And we'll just work extra hard on our "homework" for physical therapy to make sure his progress continues.

Still working on the video thing, too. New camera. And school has started, so Ryan's computer is occupied more often...
