Sitting!

It's official, Charlie Claire is sitting on her own!!!



This girl has been wanting to sit up on her own for a couple months now. When she is laying down on her back she is constantly trying to sit herself up!  Miss Wendy has given us a lot of exercises to do with C to help her and then she really worked with C on it this past week and home girl finally nailed it!!! Way to go CC!

Charlie Claire now has a developmental educator, Miss Nina.  Miss Nina comes once a week and she is super awesome.  One of Charlie Claire's most favorite things is music (The Black Eyed Peas are on the top of her list!) and Miss Nina does a lot of songs with her and C just LOVES it! Some of the things Nina works on with her overlap with Miss Wendy and some things are completely different.  We are so fortunate that Charlie is in such an awesome Early Intervention Program, we just love these ladies!

We talked to Dr. M's office today - we are doubling C's dose of her new medication (lamictal) and decreasing her morning dose of phenobarb from 5mL's to 2.5mL's.  So far we have not noticed an improvement with the new medication but we are not at a therapeutic level yet.

While Miss Charlie Claire has been busy sitting up, action Jackson has been quite busy himself!! He is loving food these days and if you are having some, he wants it! Jackson is officially a stander now and has started walking along the furniture! He is obsessed with Charlie, it's really kind of sweet actually! However, since she isn't quite up to his speed we have to referee and say "be nice" a lot!  We are still working on teaching him to leave C's glasses alone!!
