new skills ?!?!?!?!?
one of the really cool things that akaiya's school does is send home a communication journal that lets us know what she has done that day, and has a little note to tell me any specific things i might need to know. well today the note said that "akaiya sat herself up independently on the mat"! kaiya has been trying for months now to master that skill. she get's herself up on her side pretty far but just falls over at the last minute. to hear that she finally got herself all the way up makes me so proud! i'm a little sad that it happened at school and that i missed it...but hey, she'll show me some day right? i tried to get her to do it again at home, but she just looked at me and laughed and laughed and laughed... i also sent a lil note to the teacher, i just want to clarify that she really did sit up by herself. and if she is starting to sit up independently that means i'm going to have to get serious about finding her a bed that fits her. the crib is getting pretty crowded...

I'm new to your blog, but wanted to say hi! Your daughter is so beautiful. That hair!! :)
It's funny that you posted about the crib today, I just wrote about the SAME thing in ours today!!
She is so cute! What kind of wheelchair is that, and are you happy with it? We are trying to figure out what one we should get for our daughter.
kaiya uses a kid kart express. it is probably the lightest of all the wheelchairs that i have seen. i don't ever take it apart b/c i am able to load it into the back of my suv by just folding the handle down, but the seat and wheel base separate so you would be able to put it into a trunk. a large trunk... and do i like it?? well...it's not bad. we have been talking to her therapists about different types of chairs b/c this model doesn't really work that great for her anymore (she's had it for 3 years now and apparently she's changed a bit.) the only reason i don't like it is b/c kaiya doesn't like sitting in it. it's nice to take shopping b/c it's built like a tank and i can load bags on it :)
