Laelia Sky Wesley

So my Early Start representative, Dawn, comes down to my apartment to oversee Laelia’s milestones, both physical and mental, once a week. Wednesday Dawn put Laelie on her side so her arms could be moved by her shoulders then she wrinkled multicolored paper in front of Laelie. It took her a long time, but finally that little right arm reached out for the very first time!!! Dawn and I both screamed and that made Laelie retreat and stare at us with these wide eyes.

So Rachel and I recreated this today and she reached out with both arms! Check it out! 

Laelia moves her right arm! Although she uses gravity, she is actually moving her shoulder. This is the age where babies bat at things with their hands so I think she’s right on track!

This time Laelie didn’t want to reach but instead just pointed with her tongue. This took SEVERAL takes before we finally caught some arm movement. Anyone want to see two other videos of Laelie sticking her tongue towards Mr. Lion and five other videos of her just staring at us like we’re idiots? I didn’t think so.
