Mall Santa - No waiting

Dear Santa,
Thank you for your patience and happy smile.
Sincerely,
That screaming child's mother.



*Sigh*
Bad pictures happen to everyone, though her hair looks great!
Joel pointed out that "she hates pumpkins and Santa." I bet the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy are getting nervous.

Thanksgiving Day

Night of a thousand jammies

Miss. Lulu is throwing up. Joel and I are doing laundry and we're all snuggling and taking baths in turn.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

This year we are most thankful for family. We are lucky to have each of you in our lives. The love and support of people around us has been inspiring and appreciated.
Thank you

Snow days

Joel's new Heroscape game has taken over the house.



Sable: 1
Roll of toilet paper: 0


Snow! She was looking out the window with her hands pressed on the glass, then she heard the camera switch on.

Double Woot!

Sable is Cruising!

Joel saw Sable pull herself up to stand by the couch and get excited. After playing for a few minutes, she took one side step, then a couple more and ended up (very happy) at daddy's knee. It took about 20 minutes but she did it all by herself; No prompting, bracing or helping. Joel and I are so proud, relieved, surprised, excited and on the hunt for more baby proofing supplies.

We're at home drinking hot chocolate and watching movies in our PJ's. Warm and safe, waiting for the snowstorm to end.

Woot!

Sable can crawl!

Musings

Sable impressed her Physical Therapist, Amy, today with all her progress. Lately, Sable has been turning her time with Amy into play. Joel and I will be meeting with her Development Coordinator next week to solidify therapy and teaching plans for the next six months. We feel prepared for anything; especially now that all test results point to "normal". There is nothing holding her back! Joel is attending the Dads Group and I am starting the Moms Group this month.

We've had a stressful 2 months and it looks like this is just the start of all the craziness.

Scott Pilgram VS The world was a cool movie.

Oligonucleotide update

The results from Sables Genetic tests are in: Normal.

Bad news...

Sable seems to be right handed.

Nom nom nom...

Feeding herself!
Sable loves Yogurt, just ask her clothes, face, hair, pugs...

Assessment

Sable went in for a few more assessments today. Bottom line is that she is going to be receiving more services for a variety of delay issues. We still do not have a diagnosis. The staff of people we met with today were very charmed by Sable and optimistic for her progress.

Levi's

Daddy bought Sable a new coat and Jeans. I love that he went on a shopping trip to get her some "get dirty in" clothes! He's very proud of Sable's new Levi's jean jacket.

Sick

Bad: I'm so sick I have lost my voice.
Good: Joel is having a relaxing (quiet) day!

Sky Nursery

From Grandma Jackie via Facebook: "Joey & Sable met me at Sky Nursery this afternoon- what a fun family event! Sable & I danced to the Einstein Middle School Jazz Band."

Sable and Uncle Jevon on a horse

She had a wide range of emotions about being on the horse. Uncle Jevon did a good job at making it fun.
