Sitting Up and Moving Around

For the past 2 weeks, we see improvement on Alfred mobility to move around. He is able to sit up by his own and he likes to move on a sitting way. He is able to walk if he is holding to stuff like sofa. He hasn’t had the confidence to walk by his own yet. We got limited time to train him walking confidently but we’ll try out every weekend till he’s able to walk alone with confident. I certainly am hoping for that day to come.

Let see from the video how he getting up and clap his hand and move around in a sitting way.

YAY ALFRED!!!! It's good to see him improving his mobility!!! Trace couldn't get himself to sitting like that for a long time, he would crawl over to the window sill or something else, pull himself up to standing, then sit down from there! Although, it took Trace a good while to walk on his own, do you have a small push toy for Alfred?

Oh he is too cute! Look at him go! He is so determined! I agree with Destini-a push toy will help him gain confidence on his legs and steady himself. He is so motivated. Go Alfred!

Way to go Alfred!! He is so cute, and I love that he claps for himself after he sits up! Simon still likes to cheer himself on! :) I agree too - Alfred would probably love a push toy!

I totally agree with Destini and Kim....get Alfred some sort of push toy. He'll love it, gain some confidence while gaining strenth in his lower extremities and core. He's such a doll. I love the videos!

Hi Everyone, I try give Alfred a push toy but his ignorance to the push toy was top of the world. He keep on rejecting when I tried to get him stand with the push toy. He either shake his head and hand very hard or he cried. He scared that he would fall and he doesn't have the confidence yet to stand alone coz he telling us, "fall, fall". I will try every weekend till he able to walk with the push toy. :)

WooHoo - good for you Alfred.

If the push toy doesn't work, what about a small chair. I find that the push toys almost move too quickly for a child that is unsure, but the right kind of chair of box can be a bit less slippery and offer more support.

Can't wait to see some more video of him walking.
