This Sunday I got to have breakfast with uncle Donny, Shari, and of course mommy and daddy. I showed uncle Donny how I do sheet rides and got him to swing me in my sheet with mom. It was a whole bunch of fun. I will be sure to post picts of my pancake Sunday with uncle Donny.

I am still a little under the weather today not really sick but not completely well. It could have something to do with being up at 3:30 in the morning..... My teeth hurt last night.  Even though I was up mom made me work hard today. I did a lot of gait trainer time, walking,and chewing on toys.

I forgot to mention the Cole came over on Friday and we got to slide together. I missed him coming to play with me. He took a nap before me and I was not very quiet for him, so mommy had to take me into my room so I could hoot and holler. I wanted him to get up and play more.  Here is a picture of me and him sliding,




More sliding.... I am concentrating on not falling off.

Mommy and are a little sick today. Hopefully we will both feel better. Next week Kate comes back from maternity leave. I can't wait to show her all I have learned.  We also go to see Tanaguchi for my follow up on the botox and to get fitted for new AFO's. Just wanted to update everyone.

Playing in my kid cart...

So this weekend we spent having lots of fun. We built forts, had sheet rides and lots of swinging. I went to the grocery store and rode around in the shopping cart then went to Walmart and rode in the shopping cart there too. Cole came with mommy and Crystal too. So you can imagine Cole and I had fun. I even found an Elmo chair that fit me and it shakes and laughs, it is furry too. Mommy said that I can get it for Christmas. 

Here are picts of me singing with mommy in my benik vest and having a sheet ride. Sheet rides are sooooo much fun. Although tonight I got rug burn.   Oh ya we got a round laundry basket so I can sit in it an  spin. That is real fun too.

Icky.... The flu shot. Mom and I think that I should not get the flu shot but all of my doctors recomend it. So I got my shot on Wednesday and I slept for 5 hours after. I have not had a good night sleep since the shot but we are not sure that is the problem. My belly has been giving me issues too. So that means that mom has not slept in two days and now that it is Friday daddy doesn't get any sleep. They take turns.

On Thursday Jenny came with a new game and I rode a sheet while she ran through the house. Today mommy got to show daddy my new game and we had lots of fun. Mom and dad ran through the house and gave me swinging rides. It is so much fun. Today mom and I brought daddy lunch and hung out with him at work for a bit. It was nice to eat lunch with daddy. Well it's Friday night and it is time for me to go to bed. So good night.

This week mom took me swimming. I sure missed going to the YMCA. We had a lot of fun. I worked real hard on kicking my legs and splashing mom in the face. I walked the whole way out to the exit. It was a lot of work but I was real proud of myself when I got to the end.

Saturday I was real cranky because my teeth hurt real bad and I did not sleep very well on Friday night. Mom, dad and I went for a walk about 7 o clock and we got sprinkled on. I really loved the sprinkles and wind.

Today mom and I went to the mall with Crystal and walked around. We got daddy some new shirts.  I had a pretty good time. I was very tired when I got home. We also ate lunch at Arby's and that is the first time I have been there.

Mommy had surgery on her wrist and has not been able to help me update everyone.  I went and had my botox on the 30 of September and it went very well. Dr. Tanaguchi let me lay on mommies tummy so I was pretty happy about that. Then they gave me laughing gas to help with the pain of the needles. They also put a numbing cream on my legs before the shots and then wrapped them in cling wrap for a half hour before the shots. I got to take my mask home that they used for the laughing gas. I like to play with that now.

After all of the excitement this morning daddy and I went swimming while mommy got us lunch. Then after lunch mommy came down to the pool with us. I liked to get back into the pool. Mommy can not take me because of surgery and then before that the pool was closed.

My neurology appointment was the next day and that went real well too. Dr. Burnstien was very impressed with everything that I am doing. He told mommy and daddy that he never thought that I would be able make such great strides. We go back in 6 months.

I did not like the car ride at all to the cities or back. Mommy and daddy hope that I get over the car issues, it is no fun for anyone.

I am getting my two year molars. They are kind if painful but after this I will have all of my teeth. YEAH!

I am doing a lot of walking and crawling around the house with help. I like to be moving around and grabbing things. On Friday I was helping mommy with her home work. The computer is pretty fun. I also went to Walmart with mommy, Cole and Crystal. We had fun shopping. Mommy pushed the cart with me and Cole in it. It was real fun zooming around the store.

Today I showed mommy how I can hug my bunny rabbit. She was so proud of me. I also showed off all of the body parts that I know... nose, ear, mouth, eyes, hand, and foot.

Jenny my original OT came back from maternity leave. It is nice to have her back. Mommy and Jenny did some scoring to find out where I am for my fine motor skills. Jenny says between 12-15 months.  That is real good!!!

Speech therapy tested me too and Melissa (ST) says that my cognitive skills are about 24 months and that is where I am suppose to be, my expressive language is about 12-15 months. So that means I know what is going on and I understand what is said to me I just can not speak back or say what I want all the time. I am working real hard though.

So all is very well here. Oh yeah, I am going to be a bat (bat girl) for Halloween.

Last night I army crawled to mommy twice. It was hard but I wiggled, pulled with my arms and pushed with my feet. Mommy and daddy were soo proud of me. I was pretty proud of my self too.

Mommy and I went swimming at the YMCA for the first time in two weeks. The pool was closed for cleaning. It is a good thing it opened because it is too cold to go swimming in the river now. I also walked from the locker room to the exit. I missed doing that.

Today I went to great grandma Marge's with mommy and had lunch. I even let her hold me. I ate a lot, she had real yummy peaches all cut up for me.

Grandma Patty came over for supper tonight and I showed her that I could crawl.  I had a busy day. My two year molars started to come. I am getting the bottom right one. So four more teeth and I should be all done.

Good night, its my bed time.

Here are pictures of me and my buddy Cole.

Well this was suppose to be my birthday so I am officially 2 years adjusted.  Anyway...
Sunday mom and I went to Riverview to go on the swings and wade in the river. I had other plans, when we got to the river I took off right into the water. It was so much fun. Mom and I played around.  My diaper grew so much from the water that mom had to take it off so I could keep walking. I met a little girl named Elle in the water playing just like me. I was a short but fun trip. It was close to dinner time. I also got to ride home with no diaper just my skirt. Whoo hooo, and no accidents.

Well we had so much fun that on Labor Day, today, mom and I got daddy to go back to the park and play in the water with me, the swings too. I had lots of fun. Daddy cooked an awesome turkey tonight for dinner. The sweet potatoes were real yummy too. Uncle Ed came over for supper and chatted for awhile. Later mom and dad took me for a walk. Mom even ran for a bit with me, I sure like it when she runs, its a lot of fun.

I am starting to grab more things with my hands and becoming more independent. I got my gym mat in the mail and it is fun to lay outside on it. We use it in the house too.  My sitting is getting better and so is my walking in the gait trainer. Words are coming a little better for me, I am getting sounds out more often. I don't like to talk while others are around because I am shy. My new favorite thing to do besides cuddle with my mommy and daddy is to read Mr. Brown can Moo Can You? and I Have a Wocket in my Pocket. I just love those books. 

Oh ya I forgot to mention that going potty on the big potty is going very well.

I had a busy day I am off to bed. Night night.


I am standing flat foot and working soo hard on my balance.


I am waving and saying HI to Mommy.

This weekend I went to Evan's 5th birthday party. I had fun. I got to eat more ice cream cake. MMMM MMM. There was a pinyata and I helped break it. I pulled ribbon out just like the big kids, with daddy's help. There was a puppy that was my size and I got puppy kisses all over. I liked her and I tried to give kisses back.

Mommy, daddy and I were going to go camping after but there was no camp sites available for us. So we will try another time. Thanks to uncle Donny for going up there before we made it all the way there. It would have been a long car ride for me. But I did get to hang out with uncle Donny he came over for supper and chatted. I got to show him some new stuff that I have learned.

So I have been sitting up at the coffee table and supporting myself. Whoo hoo!!! I am also working on talking more. We are still walking the hallway at the YMCA. Oh ya the pool is closed for two weeks for it cleaning. Mommy and I will have to find something else to do.

I have been not sleeping very well. Last week I was up for 4 days and now this week I was up for two days. So mommy is going to make me take chloral. That is what the docs gave me to sleep because it is not good for anyone.

Anyway all is well here. Toodles
