A new milestone
G has a new trick: he can reach for an object using the opposite hand. Ok, I don’t really know how to explain it, but the jist is that he’s crossing the midline.
You may think: “What’s the big deal? I do this every day!”, but for little people this is a pretty big developmental milestone. It’s something you learn to do. You’re not born with it.
I don’t know how long he’s been doing this (yet another sad thing about not being around him every day), but the moment I saw it, I squealed and called S to tell him. S suspects he saw G do it last week, but wasn’t sure. As of today it’s official.
I don’t know what comes next, but I know that G will at least be able to shake hands as an adult ;p
that is huge! really, it may seem small, but it isnt. that is one thing that jacob still wasnt able to do at his 2 year check up (along with not talking, etc) that rose concern and led to years of PT and OT! consider yourself blessed with a thriving baby!
