Cooper IN the stander!

I finally have pics to share of Cooper in his stander. The stander is kept in our basement and we live in a 3 story townhouse so if I forget the camera then we're just out of luck for pics! BUT, today I remembered to bring it down with me! High five for mommy!

Cooper rarely watches tv so I bribed him with Curious George! He was captivated and never whined while in the stander. We're going to be doing this everyday and we're starting out with a 15 minute interval. Cooper isn't used to standing on his legs so 15 minutes is a lot for him!

Awesome news, the other day at therapy he stood for about a minute with very little assistance. He even was holding himself up on a table! I've never seen him do that so what is a mommy to do but CRY! I was so happy and proud! His PT put some special bands around his knees to keep them straight and it really helped...so, of course, I will be purchasing some of those special bands to use around the house!

I stuck that ABC wheel toy in the bowl for kicks but he was really more interested in....

...Curious George!

And, looking right past me so he could continue watching cartoons!
