Milestones

Once again it's been awhile since I've updated. Josh has been out of town so this mom has been busy. Keelie has been doing really good. She has had two very big milestones. Last week the speech therapist got Keelie to say daddy instead of da da. Well some of you might not see this as big but Keelie has this problem with reduplication. So this is huge for her. The other thing she said was puppy. She normally says pup pup. Again, she reduplicates. We were watching tv and she saw a puppy and said it without imitating anyone. So that's even better that she said it on her own. She has been doing really good with both words and has really only reduplicated da da. I am so proud. She is making progress.

Last weekend we had cayden's birthday party. Keelie had a great time. She ran around and played all of her energy out. It was a great party and it was great to see her play so hard. Her weak body gives out so easy but she did good at the party.

Thursday she woke up with a runny nose, congestion and she ran a low grade fever. She has not been too bad so I didn't take her to the doctor. I like to see her fight it off when possible.

This upcoming week she hopefully will be fitted for braces. I get tired of her falling down and I know she will enjoy wearing them. She has a strap she wears on her hips and she likes wearing it. The pressure secures and comforts her. So I am thinking she will have security and comfort with the braces. We shall see.

I'll try to be better at updating. Thanks to all of you who follow Keelie and her progress.
