We had Ansel's 18 month checkup yesterday and we have been anxiously awaiting the visit to see how the doctor thinks things are going. In 3 months, Ansel has gone from only scooting on his bottom to crawling, pulling up to standing, and scooting with lightning speed. And in the past week, he's also started walking by holding on to hands. The doctor said it was great progress and that he's not worried about a delay any longer! It's clear he is continuing to get where he needs to be developmentally, just on his own timeframe.
Ansel also managed to pack on 3 pounds in 3 months! His height was pretty steady and his ever expanding vocabulary is amazing. He's got more than 60 words he knows and is starting to narrate the day, much like Amita. We're blessed to have such good news on his health and we are (hopefully!) going to worry a little less now. Here's some pictures of Ansel's latest escapades!
He wasn't sure if he loved or hated this giant box. The only thing that was certain was that the cats were sad it wasn't them!
And here's the big guy (and the bigger guy!) practicing walking. Amita has been trying to help with his walking too, but since she only weighs 1 pound more than he does, she isn't able to offer the same level of support! Let's just say it usually is a less successful practice session in those instances!!
