Another milestone for Morgan

[Free Bird]

This morning Morgan started sitting. Not by herself, although she is almost there, but I sat her down on the floor and she sat for almost 10 min without any help. I was so excited for her.

But even though I am so excited at the things she is doing, I sit here crying as I type this because Megan seems to be at a stand still. I know we haven't been in pt long but she seems so stiff. She doesn't want to be in the sitting position unless I force her. She's still keeping her left hand fisted and tight against her body. Everytime I try to make her reach for stuff with that hand she pulls it back. I just keep repeating what we do in therapy, I guess I was hoping to see results sooner. I can't get her to even want to sit with the use of the bobby. She does ok for a little bit in the bumbo but she not for too long.

:woot WTG Morgan :cheer
Hang in there mom. :hugs Megan will get there soon enough. Like you said, ya'll haven't been in therapy long...it will take a little while and some kids are just slower at things than others. She WILL get there! :hug

:hugs She'll get there, she just needs more time. Good for Morgan! :clap

[gypsymom]

:yay for Morgan!

It must be so hard to be happy for one and concerned for the other. Just keep working with Megan. She will make progress and you will have lots of milestones to celebrate.

Go Morgan. :chest Megan will catch up you'll see. Like you said it hasn't been long since you've been in PT. Just keep at it. i know it's hard but you are doing a greta job and you'll see before you know it she will be right were she needs to be.

congrats Morgan! and lissette, dont' forget that even though they're twins they're still two different people! i'm sure me and my sister didn't start sitting at the same age or talking at the same age, and neither will my daughters. or yours. every baby's different and every baby has their own schedule to go by. that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with them or anything to be upset about. she'll get there when she's supposed to...it's just not her time yet.

:woohoo Morgan!!:Wee That's awesome!

I can imagine your frustration with her progress, especially since you see Morgan doing these things, but therapy can take a little while. There's not only her physical limitations, but she also probably has some mental ones to overcome too. She is used to the way she is, and you are pulling her out of her bubble. She will be doing these things before you knowit, and years down the road, you won't even be able to tell she had any difficulties. Hang in there!:hugs

She will get there.... It just takes time. It is great that you are working with her. She will get there. I can't repeat that enough times. Keep working with her. I know how hard it is to have one twin be able to do things and the other can't. It breaks your heart.

:yay Morgan!! That's great.
My Brandon does the clench fist thing with his left hand and sometimes he will spaz with it hitting his leg. Then sometimes, lately I will see him using it to grab something. It's still early! She'll get better with practice. The PT is going to work, it just needs a little while to sink in! :hugs
