I am amazed everyday by Peanut and what she can do. When we first met her she was bearing little to no weight on her legs and wasn't really a fan of being held for too long. She also didn't really grab things with her hands.
Now at just a few weeks home and a couple days past 6 months old she has been an overachiever. She is starting to bear more and more weight on her legs everyday. She loves to snuggle and be held. And she is starting to bat at the toys on the play mat and grab on to some of them. She even tried to put a toy in her mouth yesterday. YEAH!!! And boy can that girl be chatty. She loves to babble, grunt, laugh, squeal and she just figured out how to make a clicking noise with her tongue.
She loves the pugs. She and Sebastian are good buddies. He is so sweet and gives her kisses and she reaches out to pet him and even has pulled on his fur and he didn't care at all. Badger will give her a kiss, smell her and then if she tries to touch him, he runs away. Badger is just shy sometimes, we are working on it.
We had out initial meeting with the Birth to 3 program and that went great. Based on the assessment, they are going to send a teacher and a physical therapist out to really evaluate Peanut. We don't know yet if she will qualify for any assistance but want to have her evaluated anyway. When the woman was here on Friday I had to answer no to a bunch of questions but if she came today I could answer sometimes. Peanut is amazing and I know she will be fine. If nothing else, I am getting tons of great info on exercises to do with Peanut to strengthen her development.
More pictures to come soon!
