Re: Dalia's 18 month checkup - good news

[Guest guest]

Congratulations on Dalia's weight gain. Will Dalia

walk holding your fingers over her heard? If so, try

a trick that someone told me. The had their child

hold onto clothes pins and the mom would be right

behind and then try letting go and they think they are

still holding on. Just a thought. I'm sure the PT

knows what they are doing.

Sheryl - congrats on the weight and height gain - how wonderful. In regards to

the walking - it will come - but I know how impatient we become when things are

delayed. For example, still has no teeth - What can I do - NOTHING - so I

am trying to be patient. Congrats again on the wonderful news. Good Luck with

delivery - I am so sorry I will miss you at the convention this year! Jane, mom

Sheryl-

That is awesome news!!! I too am hoping Isaac will be walking before

the new baby comes but I don't think it is going to happen. I am

having the same issues with his physical therapy since it is hard

for me to get up and down off the floor

Take care-

Mimi (Isaac's mommy)

Hi!

Go Dalia! She is almost as tall as Emerence and gaining on her weight

wise too! My son who is 5 didn't walk until 26 months but he

couldn't even stand until about 22 months of age (really bad

hypotonia). Emerence walked at 17 months. The good news is she is up

and can stand. I'll bet she will just let go and take off one of these

days. Since both of my kids have had PT, I have sometimes learned taht

if I leave the room (and stand out of sight outside the door) my kids

did better at PT. Sometimes it became a power struggle between us.

With just the PT to listen to sometimes things went better.

I am so so excited though on the weight gain and glad your pregancny is

going well.

Also, I see Jodie Cals posted her shake recipe for Jane to use for

, we also have used it and Emerence gained weight on it. I

modified her shake to be chocolate ice cream (melted), one package of

chochocolate Carnation instant breakfast, whole milk and 1/2 and 1/2.

, mom to , 5 and Emerence 2 RSS/ SGA 31 " 21 lb and 3rd set

of tubes now in!

soooo happy and thank the Periactin for this since the Pediatrician

said that they usually don't have a growth spurt during this time.

As an aside, Dalia is still not walking unassisted...she has

been " cruising " since around 11 months of age, but will not let

go..she pushes furniture and runs with her toy walkers all around the

house, but no sign of letting go..i was hoping she would walk by the

time the new baby came, but I don't know if it will happen. Doing her

PT has become extremely difficult because she won't cooperate and also

me being pregnant doesn't help. Just a slight vent....but I'm very

happy anyway!!

Good Job on the weight gain. I'm gonna have to let Aubrey come over and eat

whatever it is you're cooking at your house. Aubrey was late walker too. She

didn't start walking by herself until 19-20 months. I've heard from other

people that have used the clothes pins and they say it really works also. Good

Luck.
