January and February 2003
Gareth is getting so big and continues to make slow but sure progress in all areas. He now weighs 25 pounds and is 32 inches long! Gareth has 16 teeth already. Most of them just slid in with little difficulty. We got a special highchair/stroller for Gareth so that he can sit up and play and to make it easier to travel around with him. He enjoys sitting up in his chair and he continues to work on sitting by himself (our record is about 10 seconds now!) We also got a stander for Gareth so that he can work on weight bearing. He has a blast in his stander, and now wants to try to stand all of the time! He can’t exactly do it by himself yet, but he’s getting stronger. 
Gareth is doing great on his belly-he can push himself up onto his elbows and wiggles around. He’d love to crawl, but he hasn’t quite figured out how to lift his huge belly! <%popup(20030329-tiger.jpg|640|529|Tiger Chair)%> | <%popup(20030329-PT.jpg|530|573|Trying out the Stander in Physical Therapy)%> | <%popup(20030329-stander.jpg|640|491|Playing the Piano )%> | <%popup(20030329-Grandma Anne.jpg|640|432|Grandma Anne, Keegan, and Gareth)%>
