Working hard!

I have been meaning to give an update on how well Addie is doing. There was a concern for a long time about the tightness in her arms and her range of motion. That is no longer a concern, her little arms are loose and jiggly and she loves reaching and grabbing things from all angles! There are many different therapies that we are working on and lots of different goals that we are working towards. The newest goal is getting Addie to pull up to a standing position. It is an effort for her to stand up, but once she gets there, she does so well! I keep hoping that she is going to pass right over crawling and just start pulling up and walking. She'll get there, she works so hard!
Although, Addie is saying "Mama" like a pro, no other words or sounds have emerged. We're working really hard on her speech therapy and hoping for new sounds and/or words - "Dada", "cat", "Julien, "Hippocrates"...anything! Trust me, I'm not complaining about her one and only word. The fact that she has spoken is truly a miracle and I thank GOD for allowing her to speak. We are working diligently on sign language (just in case) and she is understanding more and more signs.
We're also working on the basics - putting objects in a container, the pincer grasp, drinking from a straw cup, waving bye-bye, etc...everything she should be working on at nine-months.
Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers. We still have a long road ahead of us and your incessant prayers are vital.
Can you believe she will be ten-months old on Halloween?
