Today seemed to fly by. One second I was feeding breakfast, and all the sudden it was time to go to physical therapy! I'm waiting every second to hear one of the girls first real words, its coming soon, I can feel it! Physical therapy was pretty interesting today. It was a totally better experience when the girls weren't so upset like they were last time. It's so interesting to watch as Julie "manipulates" the girls bodies as they are moving, in order to better develop certain parts of their bodies. Julie was explaining that Rachel is mostly using her back muscles, which is why she crawls the way she does. So we need to help her activate and build up her stomach muscles to help her to crawl on all fours instead of her trademark army crawl. It was almost a relief to hear that we don't need to focus so much on Rachel walking, but on crawling on all fours, getting out from a sit, and kneeling while playing. Maybe as soon as Rachel can accomplish these goals it will be no time till she's walking!
I'm hoping tomorrow we can go to the zoo! I think it might be nice weather, but if not, later this week.
