An infant should always be safely and securely strapped into their carseat every time they ride in a vehicle. This is something I feel strongly about, possibly because I learned about it in school, but mostly because life is hard enough without adding tragedy or injury when unnecessary. Being positioned appropriately and securely strapped in [...]

Proper crawler!

If you have read my previous post, you know that Annelise started army crawling rather than properly crawling on her hands and knees. Crawling is probably my favorite stage in development. Its also one of the hardest to learn, because you have to coordinate trunk control w/ control of all four extremities. I was really [...]

As a tribute to her Uncle David in the Army, stationed in Korea, Annelise has decided to start army crawling rather than proper crawling (10-21-11)… I’m glad she is getting places purposefully, but let it be noted that we have been practicing modelled crawling-where I help her move each extremity while she maintains the quadruped [...]

Tummy time! One of the most important developmental activities that exists! I’m always preaching about getting enough tummy time to my patient’s families. You can imagine my embarassment when Annelise was 2 weeks old and I realized I hadn’t had her do any tummy time, except for the little bit in the hospital under the [...]
