Mommy report: OT eval

Robin, the OT, was here today to do an initial eval on Nebraska. Overall, she said she was pleased with her progress considering her surgery at 3 months and recent illness. She did well with several of the little test elements, and there were deficits in several, which we expected. Her head/neck strength will be a primary goal and point of beginning for therapy in the next few weeks, on a weekly basis. She did give us some things to focus on when just doing normal stuff at home, to help her in between visits from the therapists.

So very soon we'll be seeing Judy, the developmental therapist, Robin, the occupational therapist (which I think is kind of funny in title, as Braska isn't all that into an occupation at this point), and Luann, the speech therapist/feeding specialist.

  1. I sure hope that occupational therapist can get you a job, Braska! But I also hope it is an EASY one that you can do AT HOME WITH YOUR MOMMY AND POP! Don't want you driving to work in that bad Champaign traffic!!

    Love to all from papa beagle!

  2. Haha papa beagle! Braska looks like you are going to have lots of fun! You are very lucky to have all those special people come over just to play with you! I know Maddy and Gracie would like that a lot! Keep working hard and getting big. Plus after all that hard work you are going to need some relaxing in the pool(your mommy will show you how), another thing you are very lucky for! Talk to you soon- Karen K

  3. Papa Beagle--I am hoping I just get to keep playing for now. I don't wanna work yet!

    Miss Karen K--I'm ready for warm weather so we can open the pool. I've been told that it will help me get strong too, plus it's fun!

Mommy report: Chatty girl

Braska's been just loving her words lately. She's still signing some, mostly when we're in public or around strangers, but she's adding more words all the time. Many of her words are just attempts at the actual word, but that's where we all start, right?!? We're not saying that she'll be giving speeches next month, but we are very proud that she's become such a mimic and that she is loving using so many sounds. We practice often, just running through her words, signs, and tricks. She especially loves to chime in with videos of herself, so I've been working on compiling all her favorites for her to work with. As I was editing this, she was sitting here saying the words over and over. So funny to hear her talking to herself on the screen and loving it. So here's a peek at some clips from our practice session tonight. Some words are more obvious than others. They are all great attempts, though, and we'll celebrate that! Make an on-line

Nebraska meets Indiana

Braska's reaction to meeting the very kind Rory Feek and his beautiful daughter Indy.  I missed the part where Braska said Indy was sooooooooooo cute!  :) Our dream would be a photo showing the two most beautiful "states" together, right?!?  :)
