For those who don't know us that well or remember, Charlie is 6 and 3 months, was a 30 weeker preemie, Ds, somewhat visually impaired from the sequentia of bilateral congenital cataracts, and has autism spectrum disorder. Just a snip from an email of mine this morning: Gotta go feed Charlie a late breakfast, and make sure his lens hasn't fallen out. BTW, Charlie stood all by himself for the first time last evening. He's been teasing us for weeks by coming to a two feet and one hand position. Last evening he finally actually removed that other hand from the floor and came up instead of going back down. Didn't stand very erect, needs to work on his posture, was somewhat crouched. But he stood, independently, all by himself, middle of the room, no props, no wires, and without a net. That's my little guy! Bit of a milestone. Have a good day, Bob

My daughter started standing the same way, just stood up in the middle of the room. I am so happy for Charlie. This will give him a whole new perspective on his world.

Ok.... I only use the "quick Reply" and don't know how the "confused face" got on there... but I can't remove it either. Sorry.
