Sophia's Stander

On April 4th Sophia was fitted for a stander.  Now that she is stronger and can (somewhat) bear weight on her joints, she is ready for a stander!  Ideally, the stander should provide support for her while she is standing.  Thus, making her stronger.  Our hope is that she will be strong enough to stand and eventually walk...by herself one day.  It was a long morning but here is a snapshot of the process. 

Stander #3 didn't provide nearly the support that she needed.  Plus, this one allowed her to bounce way more than she needed.  In short, she played more than she worked.  


 Stander #2 didn't have an adjustable tray.  Plus, it didn't have many positions. 


And the winner is?  Stander #1! It can do several positions and can adjust as she grows.  The bonus? It comes in pink :o)


 She'll need to stand in it several times a day for a certain amount time.  We'll work out those details later.  The stander should be here sometime during the summer.  I can't wait!!!


 She started to find her groove in it.  After all, it is important that she feels comfortable.  We thought she liked it, too. 


 I love...


...this baby!
