- Milestones/Personality:
+ And we are officially crawling. It started about three weeks ago with an army crawl and then moved to hands and knees about one week later. She's getting along pretty good now. She's not too fast, but I am sure that will come.
+ Sloan is able to pull herself up to her knees from a crawling position by moving over to furniture.
+ She loves to play patty cake. You just have to say it or start singing it and she will begin to clap.
+ She'll pass out kisses when asked....it's adorable!
+ When we place her standing next to furniture she is able to hold herself up there. She's not able to pull herself up to standing...yet. She loves seeing the world from this new view.
+ During our last therapy appointment, they said she seems to be catching on so well that we can move to monthly visits rather than every other week.
We received a good report from our last cardio appointment with Dr Grifka. Her oxygen levels were in the mid to high 80s, she sounded good and her x-ray looked good. We don't go for another appointment until December in Ann Arbor where we will have a full day...echo, ekg, etc. Here's to hoping we receive good news at that appointment too. We are starting to enter cold and flu season so I am a bit nervous as I know we need to keep her as healthy as possible and keep those germs away! We are all prepared with our flu shots, so hopefully we'll all stay healthy this winter.
We also celebrated Sloan's first Halloween this year and the kids were dressed to the nine's! We spent the time together as family and visited with both grandparents. We did take Drake around the block to trick or treat, but left Sloan inside where it was dry and warm. Here are some photos from the past month to get everyone caught up!
