With July on our doorstep we are in full summer mode. Cassidy has completed 2 weeks of swimming lessons and has lost her fear of pools larger than one mom can blow up. We also found out that Makenna LOVES the pool and is also quite fond of the beach. Finally after 13 months we can add 2 things to her list of favorites (in addition to food, of course). Cassidy did attend Kindergarten open house during June and is excited to go to school in September. Makenna has made it clear to us she is marching to the beat of her own drum, she has finally begun to pull herself into a standing position and has taken a few cruising steps, although she is still pretty wobbly. We have some assistance from Early Intervention coming in once a week but Makenna really doesn't let the therapist do too much with her, rather she cries whenever the women touches her, or makes an movements in her direction. Originally we were told it was important for Kenna to crawl in order to help with her stability and balance when standing\walking, but it seems clear to me now, she will never do anything more than her modified scoot-crawl. It is very similar to her original version of scooting, but now she does keep one knee bent and she sits on the other leg, really quite a sight! As long as she is happy, we don't care!!!!
