Lily was bending down nearly to the shape of a "U" just before I grabbed the phone and shot this footage. It was dark and the bright lights don't go well with her limited sight, so sorry for the dark images.
Due to their blindness, kids like this often don't have the motivation to pick up their heads or try to crawl, since they can't see much. Thus, it's been a very long, slow progress for her and us.
@WIMiami, She's now about 2.5 years old, however, she's very behind in terms of development due to her low vision issues. She's had a left lens replacement surgery, and now is on the threshold of no longer being legally blind. About a year ago (from my recollection) she started to reach, pick her head up and later crawl. She's now on the verge of walking. She can stand on her own, but needs to hold on to something.
