Go, Go, Go!!!

The girls are really on the move now. There's no part of the house Paige has not explored yet. She may not be crawling on her hands and knees but she's getting around pretty good with the army crawl. She's also started to pull her self up on things and almost made it to standing. Bree has also start to army crawl...we thought this day would never come for her. She's much more delayed than Paige but we finally have hope that she may one day walk. I think Bree's limited vision is what is holding her back. She doesn't see as far as Paige and she's not as adventurous as her either, so to lay in one spot for most of the day is normal for her. She does like to spend time in her walker...life at a different vantage point. Speech is going better than anyone expected as well. They're always mocking sounds and seem to focus on me when I'm speaking to them. I love it when I put Paige to bed and she says "night night". When I walk in their room in the morning Bree will say "hey girl"...it's too cute. Paige has mastered the word "more" and signs it as well. She uses it when she eats. Paige also learned "no"...I'm always telling her to get away from the dog bowls so she hears no quite a bit. They are finally getting to a point were they no longer feel like newborns and more like little girls. They still have a long road ahead of them, but if everything goes as it is they are well on their way to a normal life.

Everyone learns to live one step at a time, one word at a time and one day at a time. We all have our own time table to do these things. Some of us just need some extra time.
