Things I like
Information on People first Language. A person with disabilities is foremost a person. They should always be described as a person with a condition not as the condition. For example Lachlan has trisomy18. We don't have trisomy children, we have children with a trisomy. Check out this helpful chart:

What I like to do and how I move
I love my hanging toys
I am lifting both my legs and bottom into the air when I lay(sometimes it is not good to be to close as I sometimes let one off in this position)
Spending more and more time on my tummy instead of just going for the roll (video about a minute long)
