Update...



Lydia had her big evaluation from the therapist today. He was so nice and she was a little ham! She was really showing off her skills. It turns out she's right on track with everything besides the gross motor skills (walking)...just as we suspected! He did say that she has low muscle tone and pointed out a few things to show that is the case. She'll need a little extra help from us, but she is not far enough out of the normal range to qualify for the physical therapy. The therapist thinks she'll be walking and running in 6-8 weeks-I hope so. We didn't get the humungo back yard for nothin'...I'm hoping for a fun summer of running and playing!

In other news...



She had her first hair cut on Saturday at Cookie Cutters! Isn't she a cutie!

That is great news! I knew she'd be ok. I have a niece who didn't walk until later as well. At least you know you have a concerned pediatrician- that's never a bad thing. She is a doll- love that hair!

Good luck with the process. It is good to hear that everything else is great. It looks like a cute little place to get her hair cut.

I'm glad she liked that cookie cutter place. Becca said Livi loved it too. That place sounds rad. As for the walking, it's okay. Especially if everything else is on track. She's just a little more cautious than other babies that's all.
