She's pretty good at getting around using her own unique crawling style. But yeah, she'll eventually be running. We went to an indoor play centre today. She's such a daredevil. Loves to climb up to...

LOL Nat, that was my DD. Â At 18 months old she was going on the 3 year old slides when I wasn't looking. Â Parents would tell me that "Oh no, looks like you will have to be doing some rescue work Mum"....

That sounds like something that would require good balance and gross motor skills, Nat? Is it possible she is just not into mundane things like mere walking and is saving herself for breaking the 100...

Little DD had her 18 month development check today and it didn't go nearly as well as I'd hoped. The MACH nurse seemed to think there might be something more serious going on than just low muscle tone...

Hope the appointment today goes well Nat. I'm sure you're worried and I do hope your mind is set at rest either by there being nothing amiss, or if there is, by having a clear plan to manage it for her.

I got a very different reaction from the physiotherapist than I did from the child health nurse. I explained to the physio lady what had happened and the things that the nurse had wanted me to get her...

I think you're right about the therapist being in a much better position to make an informed diagnosis, Nat. But if you do have any doubts, you could always talk to your GP and ask if they could give...

A friend of mine has a young daughter who rated on the 5% percentile line for a check-up. As he said himself, with the normal distribution bell curve, there is always someone going to be on the 5%...

I've been taking her to the pool to do some exercises the physiotherapist said might help. On Friday she actually took a few steps on her own in the pool and today she stood up all by herself (no...

Oh Nat, that sounds like good progression. I'll bet you're happy with that - going to the pool seems like a great idea.

Going to the pool is ALWAYS a good idea - especially in this weather!! Mind you, how many pairs of eyes do you need with both girls now Nat?

Thankfully I haven't had to worry about that yet Soph. I take little DD to the pool when big DD is in preschool, and when we went to the beach recently little DD refused to go in the cold water.

She took 3 independent steps this morning. Admittedly the last one was taken while falling into my arms

Slowly we're getting there. She's more inclined to grab things and push them along to walk now and also to just stand up on her own. She even took 15 steps today. The physiotherapist is happy with her...

I considered having another child just to have those toddler conversations again. The language development process blew my mind. Great news that she's doing so much better now with the walking and...

That's great Nat, that she's progressing so well. I hope the eye problem is easily fixable, if that becomes necessary. And have fun with the words!
