One step at a time

It was just another day a therapy...Thursdays are Physical Therapy day. Paige started first with PT while Bree had Massage. The therapist usually puts the girls in the walker and has them walk down the hall to the closet with the cookies...great motivation for Paige. Beth, their PT, has been working with Paige on walking without holder her hands. She took a few steps while holding only one hand. I was amazed...she looked like such a big girl. Then the moment I will never forget. Beth let go and Paige took 5 steps all by herself. I have to admit I had tears in my eyes. I didn't know if I would ever see her walk on her own. Now I'm confident she'll be walking with limited help by school and hopefully by the wedding in October. I'm so incredibly proud of her.

And let's not forget Bree. I think she's feeling the pressure to keep up with big sis. The past few days she's making more strides towards crawling. She usually gets around by "army crawling" but has graduated to the bunny hop that Paige was so famous for. In addition, now that she is spending more time on her hands and knees, she has learned to prop herself up into a "W " sitting position. Her core strenght is really improving and I'm hoping in a few months she'll move to a proper sitting position.

Unfortunatly, my camera is not working. As soon as I can I will post pictures of Paige walking and Bree crawling and sitting.

Day at the Park

Paige, Bree, Connor and I took a trip to the park with Grandma last week. Connor made friends with a couple of girls...go Connor...while to girls played on the swings. I took a couple of pictures on Grandma's phone. My camera isn't working so I haven't been able to take any pictures of the kids lately. Everyone had fun and it was a beautiful day.


Bree loves the swings.


Paige is such a cutie!



Weeeeeee!!!!


Paige, with her hair in her face...drives me nuts!

So, Paige learned how to pedal the tricycle at therapy this week. She was so excited she rode right into another bike. She's really getting the hang of it. Bree took a few steps in the walker the same day. She looked like such a big girls standing so tall. I would be such a happy mommy if she could use the walker by October, but I know that's a huge goal to put on her. So, I'd be happy if she was just sitting unassisted by then. As for Paige, she is definately capable of walking with the walker by then. I guess we'll have to work as hard as we can, and see what our girls can accomplish in the next 6 months.
