We are very excited to announce the next feature baby, Dottie!
Dottie and her mom Sarah started coming to Babies On The MOVE Mini Movers classes in July 2016, when she was three months old. Sarah works really close to Open Arts Studio in Morrisville where our monthly classes are held and is able to bring Dottie to work with her, so our classes were super-convenient for them to come almost every month! Here are some early tummy time pics that show how determined this little one was to move from early on!
They switched over to Master Movers classes in November when Dottie was turning 7 months old, could sit well by herself, and was ready for a new challenge! While attending Master Movers classes, Dottie learned how to move out of sitting by going over each side, get on to hands and knees, creep, pull up to stand, squat to pick up toys, and walk holding on to furniture! In March 2017, at 11 months old, she came to class and showed off her cool new trick --- Taking steps all by herself!!! We are excited for their family on this next chapter in their lives and thank them for sharing the first year with us! We look forward to having them stop by the studio every so often to see what she's up to along the way!
“As first time parents, we wanted to start our child off on the right foot (GROAN). We weren’t quite sure how to encourage Dottie to move correctly. We questioned if we were picking her up, positioning her, and playing with her in ways that ensured that we were helping, not harming. Becca and Rachel were really great at identifying milestones and suggesting methods to help Dottie flourish.”
