No more therapy!!

We had an appointment with the main doctor who decides if a patient needs therapy or not. She took one look at the girls and immediately said, "These girls don't need therapy - they're perfectly fine!". That was my opinion, too, but that didn't seem to matter to the therapists.

Callie's been going to Occupational Therapy for the last few weeks. She's sometimes a little stiff when you pick her up. I've finally decided that she just doesn't like to be messed with. She's finally relaxing when we pick her up - not too happy when someone she doesn't know picks her up, but otherwise, she's just fine. She's crawling, sitting up from any position, pulling up on anything she can get her hands on, etc.

Emma's almost sitting up from any position - all she needs to do is "let go". :) If she would just take her hand and give a tiny push, she would be sitting up just fine. She can pull up, but doesn't do it as much as Callie. She's also doing more of the army man crawl than a normal crawl...after being evaluated, the therapists didn't feel she needed any therapy anyway, so she hasn't had to go. Whew! She'll probably have her turn when it comes to speech.

I am so glad to be rid of the OT appointment. We were going every other week, but it always seemed to come around too fast! This will be one less appt we have to deal with.
