Steven is now 7 months old and making wonderful progress! He is able to lift his arm up to about eye level while sitting. His grip in his right hand is getting stronger and stronger. He is able to pick up small objects and even feed himself puffs and tiny pieces of food. He LOVES bananas! I let him feed himself a chopped up banana almost everyday!
Although he often compensates by shifting his body to the left in order to lift his right arm, he still keeps his balance very well while sitting. We have to constantly watch out for torticollis, which is basically a stiff neck from lack of movement. When he was only a few months old he had mild torticollis and we had to do special exercises everyday to correct it and also to prevent him from getting a flat spot (Plagiocephaly).
