Physically Jasmine is very active whenever she is awake. Her limbs are now constantly moving, displaying non-symmetrical, unco-ordinated, jerky movements. When held sitting, Jasmine is able to hold her head erect for several seconds before dropping forward. She constantly strives to look around her, and her spine is less frequently curved than at a younger age. When prone, Jasmine can now lift her head briefly. If held standing, Jasmine pushes downwards with her feet.
When supine, Jasmine turns to the right and appears near to rolling over. She reaches for her cot mobile and follows the animals with her eyes as they turn mechanically. She cries strongly when her needs are not met and clearly demonstrates her enjoyment of being in her bath.
