Finn had his physical therapy on friday and she hooked him up to a baby treadmill to start him getting used to the walking process. Finn's legs are very strong and he loves to stand so that is why his PT decided to play up his strengths and get him on the path to walking. Crawling continues to be a struggle and we think he will have more success walking. He did so good for the first try. He walked 47 feet and actually took 2 steps all by himself! That was very encouraging. Here are some pictures of him on the treadmill
His PT thinks that in a few months he will be a good candidate for one of this walkers.
He probably won't get one until the fall, but it's nice he has this option to help him walk. It can come with everything he needs (like arm and back supports) and will grow with him. We go back in few weeks to do the treadmill again.
Finn likes playing with all the equipment at the center. Look how much fun he had in this tumble toy
