CLC called last week to ask about a new piece of equipment for Liam. A much smaller, lighter, way more independent walker. We've noticed how much stronger his upper body is and apparently his walking just taking off. Without the walker we haven't been able to practice much at home, he's not really motivated in the big bulky Pacer (that we were so thankful for a year ago, just to get him standing and trying). He's really making progress!
And, surprisingly it's not just the gross motor function (that's the big movements like sitting and walking). His school skills are coming along nicely too. He's been working on tracing his name since he was about 3. Not independently and frankly not very well. But, in the passed two months he's been independently tracing or writing his name. He know 95% of the alphabet, upper and lower, along with their sounds. And, as he learns the letters he either colors, traces or uses and IPad app to trace them with his finger.

Here's a little sample of his fine motor skills. We're so happy he's trying. He probably won't be the fastest writer but at least he can learn how.
