Sitting Up

I decided to take a break from the story of Anna's entrance into this world and skip to about 7 months. Anna had learned to sit up and I was told that the spitting up would slow down a bit once this happened. But as you can see from the picture, no such luck. We had a bib on her most of the time and used the burp cloths as back up frequently. If it hadn't been fall, I think I may have kept clothes off her since all we did was cover them up anyway. But it was a bit too cold for that idea.

Up until this point we were concerned that Anna didn't seem too interested in toys (this is pre-diagnosis). Her interest started to grow once she started to sit up but still mostly with her left hand. But it wasn't as though she never used her right hand so even though the doctor said we could see a neurologist or PT if we were concerned, we didn't rush for an appointment.

By the time Anna was close to 8 months, we had seen some improvement in her right hand when she was sitting and playing. But she didn't try to transition from sitting to lying down and vice versa, she despised being on her stomach and still leaned to her right with her hand fisted at times. It was time to make an appointment.
