Retropost: Therapy and stories

It's time for me to get you caught up again. I'm trying to help Mommy get her work done around the house so she can have time to help me tell stories everyday again.

Here's some pictures from the last couple weeks.

Monday, 1/14
Miss Judy came to see me. She brought some pretty neat toys to play with. There was a big bowl that was kind of like the ones Mommy makes cookies in, but Miss Judy put me in there! She made it move so that I had to work pretty hard to stay sitting up. Then she had a neat blanket thing that we moved it up and down and played with. Mommy said we might get one to play with because Miss Judy said it would be good for me. It's called a par-u-shoot.


Then Mommy and I went back to the SJ town to see the work office again. And we went to lunch with Miss Karen (a new one!) at the new Toro that opened in SJ town. That is three days in a row at Toro! Mommy thought I might eat some salsa again, but I didn't feel like it today. Do I look like I want salsa to you?


When we got back to C town, we picked up Pop to go to his doctor appointment. I sat in the waiting room and played like a big girl. This is my new sweater that I got from Miss Julie. I think the stripes are really fun to look at.


Tuesday 1/15
Miss Robin came to see me, and she made me work hard like she always does. She told me and Mommy that I need to work on getting my middle parts stronger so I can learn to crawl and stand. So she had me practice getting up while she turned me sideways. It was hard!

That night Mommy gave me some little strings that she said I could play with AND eat. I looked them over, but I didn't think they looked yummy, so I didn't even try to eat them.


I told the stories about Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday here if you missed them.

Saturday, 1/19
I got to hang out with my Pop on Saturday while Mommy went to Miss Andrea's baby party. She's going to have two babies at one time! For dinner, Mommy and I went to Olivia's house to play. Miss Jennifer made dinner, and it had little strings in it, but I didn't want to try it even though Mommy said it was really yummy. Olivia was nice and shared her toys with me.


Sunday, 1/20
I wore one of my new outfits to church that Auntie Rachel bought me last weekend. Everyone liked it alot, but I didn't let Mommy get a good picture. She kept trying to get me to smile, but I tricked her and kept my mouth still. Then I just laughed at her when I couldn't keep it in anymore!


Monday, 1/21
Miss Sue came this morning to see me. She knows alot about what kids can see and how to make my eyes work better. She gave Mommy lots of ideas about games we can play to help my eyes get stronger and when I should get to take my glasses off for a while. She had a very neat book that I played with while she talked to Mommy.


I took a nap with Pop after dinner.


Pop and I made up a new game after we woke up. We call it A-Ba-Ba because that's what I say when we play. It's pretty fun. He holds his hand up by my face when he's ready to play, and I open my mouth and say Ahhhh. I like to play, and I'm even learning to do it by myself!

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?!?  :)
