>>>>I guess what I really want to ask everyone is was your child a big ol'
lump
up to a certain age and then just started to blossom?  I mean Meredith is 14
months old and her developmental assesment said she was 2-3 months so does
that mean that when she's 28 months she'll be 4-6 months and at 42 months
she'll be 6-9 months or do they get to a certain age and kind of have a
developmental spurt?>>>>>>.


Cindy, sorry I can't say when the milestones will occur, all our kids
develop at different speeds, but I do recall that at 14 mo Rebecca was
pretty much as you describe Meredith.  The kids who are of the partial
flavour usually do gain more skills then the full or Moasaic kids but none
of us can say when.  Often times we have to look hard to see them, I will
never forget the time that in play I held Bec up and said put you feet down
and stand up and she did! ( of cause we had to support her or she would have
fallen over)  I think one of Rebecca's problems is she just is so happy to
just be that she is not motivated to do lots of things, i.e. she can sit
quite well, but prefers to lay  or lean on something so getting her to sit
is a challenge. as for developmental age,  I don't know where Rebecca
sits.......can't say I want to , it wont change who she is or that we love
her ( also I am sure that what "they" tell me would be a downer and I know
that Bec knows what's going on)
