In the past month, my 11 month old, Jessica, has started to touch the back of her head, clap, and supinate about 10 degrees past neutral!

Not a BPI brag but my daughter is 2 1/2 and asked to go to the potty today!

We're kind of on a down-hill right now with the BPI stuff so I'm celebrating her other achievements!!!

Thanks for the opportunity to be greatful!

OK!! Let's celebrate EVERY achievement and milestone with a noisey parade around the house and share on this Brag Board. It does help us all, believe me...

Sebastião is 6 months and is ROBPI. He is now sitting down by himself for long times, I haven't really counted the time, but some minutes. He took his bath today almost all the time sitting down by himself and holding himself with his BPI arm to the side of his bathtub while splashing the water with the left arm. I thought that was cute and good exercise! His arms and hands are almost the same colour now and he is raising his arm a lot more to the front but still not beeing able to bend the arm by himself. He is also using his right hand quite a lot with the help of the left hand, to bring to his mouth or to hold objects, which I find really great to watch. His scars are also getting less visible each day and they were looking pretty bad.
It feels great to see him improve every day.

Great to hear all the positive news.

Noah is almost 18 months and ROBPI. In active play,he will catch himself with his right arm and use his right arm to push up on. This is new for him the past few weeks. Yea!

He is still delighted with swinging both his arms up over his head or out to the side to give me a big hug (love that!). These are new movements since his mod quad four months ago.
