Swim Lesson and Life in General

Angelina truly touches everyone she comes in contact with. She is growing and experiencing new things and loves just about everything except getting her face washed. She will be starting physical therapy next week to help her strengthen her legs. Angelina gets around pretty good even though she isn't crawling yet. She finally figured out how to sit up on her own and now she waves hi and bye. She is eating like crazy, everthing I eat she wants and she will try it all, some stays in the mouth others I wear!

We are still in awe of her. Bill, Christopher and I just want to play with her all the time. It's truly an awesome experience!

Love the pool!

Angelina has been with us now for 2 months. It seems like she has always been with us. She has really adjusted well. She loves to eat just about everything and sleeps through the night and takes 2 naps during the day. She is now 16 lbs and 14ozs and 27 3/4 inches. Lately, she feels like she weighs a lot more. Angelina has had a high fever and double ear infection for the last five days and she will not let me put her down. Couple of sleepless nights but we're all getting better now.

We had an Early Intervention Evaluation this week. Angelina will be starting Physical Therapy twice a week for at least the next 6 months. Between Christopher and Angelina we have 3 therapist coming to the house around the clock. All good.

Since the initial evaluation Angelina has been making great progress. She is now attempting to crawl, feeds herself (very independent), hold the bottle and is babbling like crazy. She also loves the pool and doesn't like to be in the floatie. Angelina is a pure delight, she laughs all the time, even when she was really sick she still smiled at us most of the time. We keep staring at her to see if this is all real. We are sooooo lucky to have her in our lives. She melts the hearts of everyone she comes in contact with.

Angelina has been to her first baseball game and saw fireworks. She loved it!!!!! Got lots of attention and made friends with people that were sitting next to us. She also celebrated her first 4th of July and Daddy (5), Mommy(7) and Grandma's (10) birthday.
