Elijah and Rachel Milestones too...
They have each hit a new milestone. It seems the older a child gets, the less dramatic they are. But they are still just as important!
Just yesterday, Elijah walked (not crawled) up the stairs! He was hanging onto the railing, but in the past, he always needed someone to hold his other hand for balance. Not now! He has had orthotics in his shoes for about a month now and they have REALLY helped his balance. Walking up stairs, marching during therapy as well as some other body movements he needed help with before and walking in general...his feet are more properly aligned now. Yes, it was on my list since last May to get them for him, but May and the rest of summer became a complete blur. :-) Good news is that Jonathan already has his orthotics. I just have to find some shoes for him. The earlier, the better. Live and learn. It helped immensely to have a "traveling PT" come to the house to do the casting and fitting for the orthotics. LOVE that!
And Rachel...well, she is becoming increasingly independent each day (if that is possible) but she now uses the big potty most of the time! YAY!!! I'm so proud of her! I guess that's one of the reasons my blogging has been sparse since Christmas. She is soooo grown up now that she refuses to even use the potty seat on the big toilet..."Big girl" she says and pushes it aside. Independence is a good thing, right? :-)

Another milestone!
Ya, I know...neglectful blogger here. We had a very nice Christmas and enjoyed spending New Year's weekend with my parents. It was only the 2nd time Elijah had been there, so it was time to visit. :-)
Anyway, Jonathan has pulled off another little trick. Not only is he crawling ALL of the way across the living room, he pulled himself to standing in his crib today!!!! GO Jonathan!!! :-) He is getting stronger and stronger every single day. Oh, and his little personality is getting stronger and stronger each and everyday too. LOL Today when I laid him down for a nap, he was watching me and smirking at me as he popped himself back up from his sleeping position on his tummy. Back and forth we went...little stinker! I keep reminding myself it is a good thing he feels safe enough to be a little "naughty".
