Candy, the physical therapist, came this week and gave e high marks for her progress. She was pleased to see e crawling on hands and knees (seldom on her belly now) and pulling up to stand by the couch, chair, coffee table, almost anything that's stationary. She explained how difficult crawling is for the brain, to separate upper and lower body, for the back to be firm yet flexible, for arms and legs to move independently. And since e is focused on moving right now, talking may come a bit later. A girl's brain can only handle so much at once! "e the explorer" is a curious child. Anything on the floor is likely to be examined by hands and maybe mouth. She has improved a lot at feeding herself bits of fruit and meat.
Today she will take her first plane trip, to Long Beach, to visit her new cousin born last week. I am eager to hear how that goes!
