Lots of arms and leg work

Yesterday we went to our OT session to see what Emily had in store for us and as usual she had a packed hour of activities that made Lucas whine and whimper off and on while he did things he didn't want to.  Even though Lucas tried his best to get out of doing some of the planned exercises Emily took no prisoners. Lucas endured 60 minutes of hard work! It paid off because Lucas really started taking off with arm work and putting pressure on his legs. You can say that we are moving in the right direction to begin (maybe) crawling or even sitting to stand in the coming months.

Expanding range of motion and coming back to sitting position. (not his favorite)
