June

As we enter June we have finally seen Makenna hit some milestones. Due to the colic, reflux and multiple ear infections she is delayed in some of her gross motor skills. She does qualify for Early Intervention and we will be meeting with them this week to write a plan for her. Around her first birthday she finally started rolling over and being able to get off her belly if we place her down on the ground. Within a couple weeks she finally was able to get herself to a sitting position from laying down. She still is very wobbly when standing and is no where near being able to stand on her own. She has pulled herself to a standing position once, a week ago, but hasn't done it again after that day. We hope with the help of EI she will be much more steady on her feet and obviously hope her first steps are not far off. Gross motor was the only area that showed a significant deficit (they marked her at 7 months), all other areas she was right on target.
Cassidy is very excited for her swimming lessons to start this week. We signed her up for 2 weeks of beginner classes and will assess her need for future classes upon completion of these. Gymnastics is winding down and her showcase is June 15th. We attended OPEN HOUSE for Kindergarten last week and Cassidy can't wait to start in the fall. We can't believe she is already old enough to attend Kindergarten but we are eager to see her knowledge base grow, even more rapidly once she starts school.
