I am sooo proud of my baby girl...she learned to crawl yesterday:)  It is probably the most pathetic looking crawl that I have ever seen, but she is crawling!!

As those of you know who read my journals...Kenna was diagnosed with Erbs Palsy in November.  It affects the nerve that goes down the right side of her neck and shoulder so she doesnt have a very strong right hand & arm.  Well...it completely shows in her crawling:(  She crawls normal with her left arm/hand but she goes down and uses her right shoulder instead of using her arm:(  It is really sad to watch but at least she is able to get to where she wants to go!!  Every couple of motions she ends up rolling over when she goes down on her shoulder but she immediately rolls back and starts on up again!!

I am so proud of her!!  I am going to let her crawl this way for a while and then we are going to start working on her using her arm!!

Jan. 8, 2008 at 5:02 PM YAY!! That's great. I know the therapy she is getting will strengthen her arm and she will be crawling in turbo speed then again she may just take off walking. I'm so excited for Kenna!
