June's update

1. Madelyn is slowly feeding herself. Most of it ends up in her lap but she is trying. A cracker gets bit into but most of the time the part in her mouth falls out.

2. She takes a sippy cup a swallow at a time. I'm hoping she's off the bottle in the next few weeks.

3. She can crawl all the way up the stairs. I think it takes about 30 minutes but she can make it. The least bit of distraction though stops her. There also can't be anything on her legs when she's trying to go up the stairs.

4. She attempts the hand/arm motions to "Itsy Bitsy Spider."

5. She claps when anyone says "yeaaaa!"

6. She's going through a definite fear of strangers right now. If she isn't comfortable with someone, she's going to scream and scream - no stopping it.

7. Snot - still not cured. I haven't the slightest clue what is next. People that moved to NC have told me they had the worst problems with allergies in this state. My guess she's one of those - doesn't mean we're moving out of NC though.

8. Cruises just a little bit on the couch - only a few steps.

9. She participates in Early Intervention once a week and occupational therapy once a month.

10. Still thinks her brother Logan is the silliest creature she's ever seen.
