Hang gliding




Okay not really hang gliding but close! Addy's OT brought over a crawler the other night to help encourage Addysen to crawl. Physically she could totally do it, just no desire! She can stay in four point, rock back and forth and even bear weight with just one arm while she uses the other one to play. So, Delene and I strapped this poor little girl into this contraption, that yes is pretty much a hang glider! Addy HATED it! It was funny though because she would get so mad she would lift her arms and legs and hang glide in the air! She finally began to tolerate and we helped her move her arms and legs to crawl. We didn't convince her that it was fun but she did end up tolerating it some!

The look on her face kills me! I wonder what she is thinking!




Okay it's not so bad!

What a cool device to help her crawl. Addy looked as though she was really trying hard to get that ball!

What a beautiful little girl!

I have a few ideas what she is thinking in that picture : ) Pretty cool device though. They have one similar that helps them walk too, then they just hang by their crotch when they refuse to cooperate. They definetly look like torture devices !

Congrats on the adoption, so glad it is official!! Addy couldn't have a better family!

We have the walking gait trainer too, she actually likes it but won't propel it anywhere!

That was one intense look! Flying is an aquired taste!
