Peanut Making Progress

This video shows Peanut, yes, STILL sporting his bucket for a hat these days.....every day.  But more importantly it shows him squatting down to play with a toy WITHOUT holding onto the couch.  I've also seen him squat all the way down in the middle of the room and pick up small toys or his hat.  For him this is really a big thing!  He walks just fine, but has always held on to something for stability when he wants to grab things on the floor. 

His physical therapist has been working with him on several things, and getting him to crawl on hands and knees is one of them;  at this point he still does the 'army crawl'.  We are also working with him on crawling over to the couch and pulling himself up to standing, and he's doing really well.  He needs very little assistance with pulling himself up.  He's slow but steady with his progress and I'm always so excited when he does something new;  and so is he - a lot of the time he'll smile and clap for himself.  Great job Peanut - we love you!!
