Guest guest Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Hi Chrissy/, I tried to post a few last night but it didn't happen for some reason. Noah did the butt scoot too and never crawled. He's ok PT/OT but is in speech therapy. The only problems he seems to have with his gross motors are just from being so small, like stairs ... he can do them one foot then the other but only if they are smaller stairs or he's hanging on to a hand cause his little legs just aren't long enough. I tried to post to you too H. Beautiful writing! And I know what you mean about worrying about the weight, as Noah has been around the 20 lb mark since the spring. We will be trying Periactin if the Ped will prescribe it. We'll be going this Thurs to see him and hopefully get some things done. And Brockton is a cutie Jeanie! There I said it all that I couldn't before and hopefully this will post. From now on I'm going to copy all my posts just in case they don't go cause I can never word it quite the same the next time I try.
