Ei progress

It's been six weeks since we've seen EI. 6! In that time they have made some excellent progress. I'm not exaggerating when I say they were impressed. They were! Both Jackson and Tabitha have improved their sitting. While neither can sit by themselves each can hold the sitting position for about a minute unaided.

The biggest excitement of the visit was Jackson's rocking. The boy loves being on his hands and knees and just rocking back and forth. Being the thoughtful little tomato that he is, he waited until PT put him into that position to show that he could do it. As if to tell her, "I learned what you just taught me!" Norah might have a run for her money there - Jackson seemed smitten!

Tabitha on the other hand, was the opposite of smitten. She wanted nothing to do with PT. She was fussing and cranky throughout the visit and at times down right uncoroperative. It is unclear whether she was having stranger anxiety or just being fussy. She wasn't especially soothed by anyone so I'm voting fussy, especially since it started before EI arrived. She's also yet to show signs of stranger anxiety whereas Jackson has entertained the idea on two or three occasions.
