Easter came early...

Avery Beth with the Easter Seals

Easter Seals that is! How do they always catch me unprepared!? Avery was scheduled to have a developmental evaluation on Thursday to assess her gross motor skills (her weakest area) and then meet with the Speech Language Pathologist and the therapist who assesses fine motor skills later. However, the "Seals" had a cancellation and despite the fact that I had been working in the yard (covered in grass from raking up old clippings!) and my house was DIRTY they came on over. The SLP said our girl had progressed a great deal in just two weeks since she had seen her last and the PT said Avery was right on track for her fine motor skills on an adjusted age scale (almost 6 months). We will meet with the OT on Thursday to see where we stand on gross motor skills...I'm thinking we will have some work to do.






After the ladies left Avery Beth sat up all by herself!!! That's a developmental milestone that apparently she wanted to keep a secret from the assessment team! Way to go Avery! I can't tell you how watching her develop and grow moves me. When I was told I was going to have a 2 pound baby I could not imagine how she could possibly be a "normal" baby. So proud of her. So proud of Ryan and I. And so happy to have the support from family and friends that have supported and prayed for our girl.
