Anyone who knows me well, knows I hate change! But the changes taking place at our house are wonderful. I am actually embracing these changes!!
Everyday I see something new in AnnaKate. This morning we were all eating breakfast together which we normally don't get to do. Billy cut AnnaKate's Nutrigrain bar and gave her all of the pieces. She used to cram all of them in her mouth or play with them until they were mush. Today she sat in her highchair and ate her breakfast piece by piece. She really took her time and played with a few books between bites. This is such great progress for her. In so many areas we are seeing such growth. I think the tonsillectomy is really starting to pay off. She is sleeping so much better so she is able to really make some great developmental changes.
I guess my sweet little girl is teaching me a little bit about change. Embrace it, learn to deal with it because it is usually going to bring something good. (Mom & Cathy, are you proud of me?)
Billy and I married in 1998 after dating for 6 years. In 2006 we adopted AnnaKate. We were lucky enough to meet her birth mother and take her home from the hospital. At about 4 months old, AnnaKate was diagnosed with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome. Through all of AnnaKate's struggles and delays she surprises and delights us daily! Thanks for marking this spot and coming back often to check in on us.
