I’m really late on posting a 13 month photo but here you go! I’ll get back on track in a few days with her 14 month picture J She loves being outside and this is her on the trike we got her for her birthday.
We started a water class a couple of weeks ago. It’s not really swim class since she’s so young but they teach the babies how to play safely in the water. During water class she and I get into the pool and we practice putting Sydney on her back and floating, kicking her feet, and climbing in and out of the pool. She really enjoys being in the pool and there is only one other baby in the class and Sydney likes talking to her.
Sydney has been wearing her TOT collar for about a week now. She wears it while she is playing and it doesn’t seem to bother her. She will pull at it when it is first put on but then she leaves it alone. She’s not limited in her movements and plays as usual. It really does help her remember to keep her hedr midline. Today was the first visit back to PT since she’s had it on and she is looking great! Her therapist said that Sydney is doing much better already and that we’ll go back in 2 weeks for our normal appointment and she will decide then if we are totally done with PT or if we have to go back in maybe 3 or 4 week intervals…cross your fingers!! J
Here are a couple of pictures of the TOT collar:

| Clear flexible tubing goes around her neck with hard plastic "struts" to keep her head in midline. |
