All By Himself On A Single Step
Look at what Matthew has been able to do recently! He can walk up and down a single 5-inch high step all by himself - a demonstration of good motor control, coordination, leg strength, and balance. He usually needs me to hold one or both of his hands to navigate a step. He surprised me as I was taking photos one afternoon and I managed to capture the moment through my lens.

ReplyDeleteAwesome, Matthew! We're working on that with JM, too. Down is so much harder than up.

ReplyDeleteoh that's wonderful and such a big accomplishment! Going up and down steps by yourself is a hard thing to do when you think of all the muscles and control that is involved!
