Brag

So here is my positive post for the day! A list of brags on miss O! It has been a while since I have blogged so I have to get caught up on all the good stuff she has been doing lately!

First and most importantly, she is CRAWLING!!! Not 100% perfect form or anything, but she is at least on 2 hands and 1 knee! She likes to put her right leg straight out to the side and push with her heel to keep moving. Hey, whatever works, right?

She is using a straw cup and is totally off the bottle! This is a huge deal especially because of the oral motor skills required to do it and the cognitive ability required to figure it out.

O is really starting to catch onto things cognitivly speaking. Responds to commands most of the time, except when I tell her to stop pulling big sissy's hair or not to put something in her mouth! She gets a lot of cause and effect things and understands language. She still isn't really saying words or signing yet, but you can usually tell by her reaction what she wants.

She is at her new daycare and has transitioned so well! She is used to a morning and afternoon nap and is struggling with the lack of sleep since there is only one afternoon nap now. But, she eats and naps like a champ! They just adore her there and are excited to learn new things to work with her on. This is a Godsend since the last daycare didn't pay attention to anything the therapist or I told them. Can't wait to get E out of there too!!!

O is pulling up to knees and sometimes even to stand! Pretty soon she is going to be up at everything and crusing! When she stands up far away from me, I hold her torso, and she "walks" toward me. The fact that she has the motor plan and understands how to walk is a huge step! Now we just need to work on the physical strength to get her going!

All in all I am just floored by how fantastic she is doing! And her therapists can't get over it either! She is by far their star pupil!!! Although that may hurt us in 2 weeks when she has her eval with EI. Her speech pathologist thinks we are going to lose her services for that. Praying we can bend the truth enough to keep services!!!
