Be forewarned: this is horn-tooting of the highest order, so if you are tired of reading about how awesome our kid is, click away now.
We had our wrap-up meeting with the physical therapy people yesterday. They came to the house to go over Anne's evaluation results and make a plan for the future. On 3 separate occasions they had come to the house to complete various standardized evaluation tests, and yesterday we got to see the results.
Anne did score low for her age in the gross motor category, but we decided she did not need official therapy because she has made big gains since the assessment was done. They are going to check-in with us again in January, and then maybe again in the spring just to make sure things are going well.
Now the good news: Anne scored practically off the charts in all other areas. In the Cognitive category she ranked in the 95th percentile, in Language in the 96th percentile, and in Social-Emotional skills it was the 99th percentile! So she is clearly advanced in all areas (even fine motor) and just needed a bit more time to start walking. Which is what I said from the get-go when I was freaking out a few weeks ago.
To summarize: she's awesome. I claim no credit, as these things appear to be inborn and are naturally unfolding before our eyes.

YAY for ANNIE :) I am soooo happy for you ALL :) T
Yeah! That is great news! Thanks for sharing your story with us. All the other babies Lillian's age are crawling around and she seems uninterested so this gives me hope!
It's clear that she's inherited a great deal of mental acuity, which, as I understand it, is almost always traceable to the maternal grandfather.
That's Awesome! Being that our kids are related, and Randy has been known to call Maddy and Gracie exceptional, I think it is safe to say that it is infact in the genes. So toot your horn, because Annie too is exceptional:-)
Of course she scored high! Her mom is a book genius, and her dad is a social genius.
... who has time to learn to walk when you're reading books and making conversation and trying to make new friends 24/7?
ha:)
You'll be getting your exercise soon when she starts RUNNING around.
