It seems Sinclair has gone from being a six-month old in motor development to a twelve-month old in only 2 months! When we first came home all she could do was sit up. We were told she could roll over, but never saw her do so, and she could not sit up on her own from a lying position. But she was a determined little girl. She loved to hold our hands and stand on our laps and that increased her strength tremendously. We have seen progress almost daily, and in literally the last 2-3 weeks she has accomplished so much. She can now roll over, push up into a sitting position, pull up on the furniture, stand for up to 10 seconds and even stand up from a sitting position in the middle of the floor. She scoots around almost everywhere on her bottom, and she is working on walking holding on to our hands, too. Go Sinclair!
