6 Months Together

Yesterday was our 6 month anniversary with Margot!  I can't believe we've been together that long!

With the weather getting nicer, we were finally able to take her to the park by our house.  She really enjoyed her first ride on the swing, but wasn't too interested in the rest of the playground equipment.  She's still doing lots of walking with our help but just won't let go!  She is 1 month into her physical therapy for her eating delays and we are working on getting her to eat more solid foods.  Next week she has her "Early On" assessment by KRESA.  If she qualifies we will get more help with her walking, talking and playing.   Can't wait to see what they have to say!

New Margs Photos!

I've had these photos uploaded and ready to go for almost 2 weeks, but the last month with Margs has been our most difficult.  She started having some major sleep issues and was waking up anywhere from 1am to 5am and wanting to stay up for a few hours and cry, eat, play or all of the above.  Needless to say we were exhausted and confused!  I've since been reading any toddler sleep book I can get my hands on and hopefully we are back on track.  Now if we can just get naptime back on schedule!

Margot has also made some great progress in these last few weeks and we think that might have been part of the issue.  She is walking with our assistance and is almost running as well, just waiting for her to let go and take off on her own!  She is still doing her baby babble but has added the letters Y, L & O to it, so it sounds like she is attempting to yodel with her Yoliolios and Yeeeeeeees.  We've also been trying to teach her to clap her hands.  Whenever Margot hears applause on the radio or tv, it upsets her and she starts to cry so clapping when she does something good was confusing for her.  When she does clap she looks at us like "Why am I doing this?  What's so great about it?"  It's cute nonethless!

I call this one "The Bib Bandit"!  She loves to wear her bib pretty much all day and when she gets tired or stressed she sucks her thumb and touches the tag on the bib.
