Exercising or Not

Addison has an occupational therapist come every week and help her do some exercises so she'll develop on time like she would have if she was born on time. Right now she is struggling with her eyesight and with her legs. It is pretty common that premies have tight hamstrings and so they chose not to crawl because it hurts and they can't stretch their legs that way, so we are working on stretching her hamstrings multiple times a day and also carrying her facing outwards with her legs scrunched up. Addison is showing strong signs of wanting to stand already and I'm told that is not good, that I want her to crawl, so for right now no exersaucers or no johnny jump ups, I guess it is important for kids to crawl who knew? I just thought she'd be a genius if she skipped that stage and just started walking. Anyways we love Melissa (her occupational therapist) she is really getting to know Addison and learn that she has an attitude. Melissa told me today that Addison has her fake cry down and that she is already a little dramatic. We still lover her though. You'll have to watch this video, and look at these pictures you'll see how hard Addison worked out.
