Standing up

God knows everything! He knows how guilty I feel for not dedicating all the time I would like to Francis. A proof of God knows everything is that Francis began to stand this morning and we are not stimulating him as much as we would like because we are busy with work, Tommy's therapies, house, etc. And then, he meets another milestone without our help. He has been practicing his new skill with daddy since he got up. It is scary having an advanced child because his mind and body are going extremely fast. God is giving the change to focus on Tommy, while he is blessing Francis to go ahead of the game.

An screening was done to Francis and the screening shows that Francis's development is above average. He scored in Gross Motor, Fine Motor, and Problem solving with the maximum scores, follow by Communication and Social Skills with a lower score, but in the highest scores, too. According to the lady who did the screening, this is not typical. Kids usually focused in one developmental area at a time. But Francis is focusing in his overall development at the same time, which indicates his is a smart baby. I have a 6 months old baby that definitely thinks and acts like an older baby. I may look for advise how to stimulate him because Francis needs to be challenged, we want to nurture him, but I think it will be in a different way that we have done it with Tommy. Meanwhile, I will keep enjoying all his millstones. Enjoy the photos!
