Last night we were at my Moms house and Chloe was laying across her lap. She was stretching and took her BP arm all the way up over her head (just like the shoulder stretch we do) all by herself. She has also been bending it up to her chest when she stretches. she seems to be bending and moving it more since we uped PT. Since then it seems like she just went back to what she was doing and has not moved it over her head again. Could it be a fluke? Will she do it again? Anyone else see their baby start moving like this? Thanks!

Joshua's movement came back just like this. I got to where I would sneak in to his room to watch him wake up from his nap just to see the movement. It's like with the subconscious movement (like stretching while waking) they don't realize the arm doesn't work and so it does. It was only a matter of time with Joshua before I saw the same movement when he was awake (I don't recall exactly, maybe 2-3 weeks later?)

Anyway, I'm sure you'll see it again! Go Chloe!!

I am SOOOOOOOO excited for you and your entire family, especially Chleo.

Heyyyy, Congratulations, Chloe!! Let's celebrate & have a noisy,banging the pots & pans parade around your house. It is soooo heathly & healing to celebrate milestones with a parade & have some fun!

I'm so happy for you. If it happens once it'll happen again. We had one movement once and then didn't see it again for a while, so don't lose hope if it still takes its time. This is wonderful news!!

How wonderful for Chleo an you! I hope she will soon be able to do many more things on her own.
I am sure it was a happy day for you!

Congratulations!! This is great news ) Any new movement is a success and Chloe might be tired from using her new found muscles and resting up to use them more. Keep up the ROM/PT. You'll see more!!
