Hannah's OT
Hannah was evaluated by the occupational therapist today. She's decided she will see her every other week and give us home exercises to do. So Hannah will have one hour of therapy every other week: 30 minutes OT and 30 PT. The physical therapy will still be every week. Tonight she leaned up against the wall in her room so she could have both hands free to do the wiggle dance with Hailey. (Wiggle wiggle wiggle go! Wiggle wiggle wiggle go! Wiggle wiggle wiggle STOP! Hold stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillll..... For all you non Yo-Gabba Gabba fans out there!) I'll have to try and get that on camera.

What? I have a blog? Seriously?
Ok, I'm going to self proclaim myself as the world's worst blogger. I thought it would be a fun way to keep people updated and um... as you can see I have not kept anybody updated since August...
My last post was all about Hannah not having to go to occupational therapy anymore... well, on Monday she getting evaluated again by an occupational therapist who thinks she may need some more. I'm not really upset about it or even viewing it as a step back. She is still making amazing progress and if this is something she needs to help her move forward then there is no way it's a step back.
Just to give a little update on how the girls are doing...
Hailey is walking/running/jumping all over the place. She is very busy most of the time but still likes to cuddle with me at the end of the day (or days that she is being very clingy). She is talking like crazy. There is no way I could try to list or count the things that she says now. She is also talking in short sentences, like "No no kitty. Outside kitty!" and "TV on!" (when we get in the car and she spots the DVD player we got for Christmas). She has gotten very good at actually telling us what she wants. She also talks to and takes very good care of her baby doll.
Hannah, as I mentioned, has made outstanding progress. She is cruising everywhere, can get in and out of her little chair, can get off the couch (without falling!), and, can lean against the wall or couch and not hold on! She can push a walker toy and loves to get in the crib and "jump jump jump!" Hannah is talking a lot too, maybe even more than Hailey. She has begun to talk in small sentences and will repeat ANYTHING that somebody says. When we leave somewhere she says "bye bye" to just about everything... blanket, bed, chair, couch, etc. She likes to tell Hailey "no" and has gotten very good at communicating what she wants.
Both of the girls are so much fun right now. We love to play with little people, read books, color, sing, and just about everything else two year olds like to do. What? TWO??? Yes, in less than a month my little babies will be two years old! I can hardly believe it myself.
Overall, we are having a great time and everybody is doing wonderful! Here are some pics from Christmas.
