Busy Busy!

I can't believe that Taylor is 10 months old already! One of the things that people always tell you before you have kids is how fast time will go by and to enjoy and cherish every stage they are in. But this is crazy!

Taylor continues to progress well with her physical/occupational therapy. She has also found a love of being mobile. Gone are the days of setting her down for 20 minutes and letting her do some tummy time on her play mat. Now we have to put her down on one side of the room, watch her roll away from us (she really likes rolling to her right), then when she gets to the other side of the room, flip her around so she can roll back! We keep teasing her with toys and working with her to get her to crawl forward. She has all of the individual components down, just needs to piece them all together. We have been able to coax her to roll back to her left recently, which saves us a trip across the room :)

Everything else is going very well. She continues to try some wonderfully creative food combinations that Kelly comes up with and loves just about everything. We are starting to get into the realm of self feeding. She is really getting the hang of grabbing her puffs or shredded cheese off her tray and getting most of it in her mouth! Because of all of this she is still growing like a weed. Most of the time she has to wear 12mo pants because her legs are so long.

Kelly and I are keeping plenty busy as well. Kelly begins her new job at Goodwill today. She will be in charge of grant writing for southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. She is also on the committee to help plan our Down Syndrome Awareness walk at the zoo this fall. I have also become more active in our local D.A.D.S. (Dads Appreciating Down Syndrome) group. We are having our first fundraiser of the year next month in the form of a Comedy Sportz event. We will also help out with the DSAW brewer game later this summer.

We will be putting together a team for our walk this year. More information to come!

That's it for now. Hope everyone is doing well!
