LEGS!

Look at my baby girl in her jumper using her legs!!! 😍😍😍
Babies with Down syndrome have very low muscle tone and many struggle with the ability and sensation of putting weight on their hands and feet. We have been working on these skills with Lydie, and in the last month they have started to click! Watching her discover how fun it is to kick in the bath or to push with all her tiny strength against the arm of our rocking chair as I burp her is amazing!! The fact that she has developed enough core strength to hold herself up (something else we’re working on) in her jumper or baby gym is exciting!! She may not be actually jumping around yet, and who knows how long that will take, but we’re finding our footing, guys. In more ways than one. πŸ’• #misslydiefaith #theluckyfew#celebrateeverymoment
