Weekly Update -- 5 - 11 May 2008

Yay, I'm 70 weeks old today!

Masinja took his first assisted steps this week. He was standing at the coffee table and he reached one of his hands out to T.M. T.M. then took his other hand and started to walk backwards. Masinja only took about three steps, but it's a start.

Masinja also went to see his physical therapist again this week. He is making really good progress. He learned how to "cruise." The PT lined some toys up on a bench that runs along the wall, and set up another bench in front of him. She kept moving the toys back and forth, and showed him how to turn around while standing up and go from one bench to another. At first Masinja just wanted to sit down in between the benches and pull himself up again, but after she corrected him several times, he got the hang of it and did it all by himself! He also climbed up stairs for the first time. T.M. says Masinja is going to be a mountain climber!

T.M. had to go away to school this week, so Masinja has had some adjusting to do. He had a hard time going to sleep the first couple of nights. T.M. and I think it is because he has been waiting up for Daddy to come home. Hopefully the time will go by quickly because Masinja misses his Daddy very much and can't wait for him to come home.

Here are some pics from PT:

That's all for now.

Peace,
T.M.M.
