Around 9 months, Deacon had very little interest in being mobile and was just barely sitting up on his own, so we called Early Intervention. We had such a great experience with them when P&F were slightly delayed with their speech. They did an evaluation, and Deke qualified for physical therapy services.
He's been getting PT for about 2 months (although the first month was kind of a wash becuse the therapist wasn't great but our new one is awesome). Now, at 13 months, he's crawling, pulling up onto his knees, and catching up to his peers. The only ones not happy about this milestone are Piper and Fletch. There is a near constant chorus of "GET HIM AWAY" as Deacon lunges toward their toys, blocks, etc.
The other thing we're working on in PT is eating finger foods. Until recently, Deacon had almost zero interest in anything other than puffs. We saw the pediatrician this past week, and he'd only gained an ounce in a month. However, Deacon must of have known we meant business because in the past few days, he's started eating pancakes, bananas, and other foods. Yay for progress!
So, with that, all I have to say is "watch out world"! Dekey-boy Chickenpants (as Piper calls him) is up and moving.
