my DD (10 months old, 9 mos adjusted age) finally scooted for the first time today!! we placed her in the middle of the room and she scooted all the way across the room..to get to an empty (used) Dr. Brown's bottle!! LOL. She was sort of crying as she was doing it, and seemed like she was working really hard, but she did it!!
Anyway, i had been getting a bit concerned about DD's lack of mobility, especially since i just went to a bday party today and ALL the other infants (even the ones that were only 6 months old) were all crawling around the room and pulling up on things, and i felt so bad that my DD was the only one not being able to move around at all. I know that she is a preemie and is really only effectively 9 mos old, but really, it seemed like by 9mos all the babies i knew were light years ahead of her and already scooting, if not full-on crawling (DS scooted at 6mos, crawled at 7 mos). It wasn't just the lack of crawling/scooting, but the inability to pull herself into sitting, or to pull up on stuff. She has been getting really fussy lately and i wondered if part of it was her frustration that she really wanted to move around but could not. But slowly she seems to be improving...
DD has her EI evaluation next week, though, am curious to how that will go...
