New Stuff!






Addy got new bangs!

She looks so much older now! :(

She also got a new set of wheels! Her PT brought over a new gait trainer for her. Right now we are just using it like her stander to get her used to baring weight on her legs. She is just a tad too short but with her tennis shoes on it doesn't make a difference. I am thrilled that she enjoys this position. I'm not ready for her to walk (which is quite awhile away!) but I'm so excited to see the progress she has made. She's still just crawling a bit backwards but she's still getting up on all fours and rocking so that's a great sign!


This weekend is no state tax in Missouri so Jarika and I headed to Springfield for school shopping. We hit Kohls first so I could get some things for the boys and Addy. Naturally Addy got more than the boys but they got some great new things to start school in. Last fall/winter I had a terrible time finding Addy pajamas that she could wear that didn't have feet in them. We had her feeding tube and her O2 tube that we had to deal with and we just ran them through her jammies but it was hard to find them without feet so the tubes could come out. I found some adorable jammies today with no feet for this winter! Yeah! I'm so happy, we now only have the feeding tube to deal with but I like having it come out of her jammies at her feet so there's a smaller risk of her having it wrapped around her neck! Fortunately with the Pulse Oximeter I would know if it happened, but at least this will make it easier! Jarika found some adorable clothes at the mall and was very excited. She even found a couple pair of shoes. That's on my list for tomorrow for the boys. After church, it's shoe shopping time. Tonight the boys and Addy and I went to buy their school supplies while Daddy went to a movie with a buddy. Our little town is completely out of folders with pockets and brads so I guess I'll check when I head to Spfld again tomorrow. But we have everything except those couple of things so I'm happy!

I can remember the 1st time we cut Megan bangs, right before her 2nd birthday....she looks sooo stinkin' cute!

MO charges tax on clothes? Just curious, we don't have that in PA.
