Mikaela started dance class

Mikaela start dance classes this Sept. I am having her take classes at The Little Gym where she and I use to take Mommy and Me gym classes. I was not ready for all the hulabaloo of costumes and recitals when I am not sure what she likes the best. So I stuck her in a class for little jazzy bugs ages 3-4yrs The girls get to learn a little bit of Ballet tap Music n movement and gymnastic, all with out Mommy. I get to watch through the window . There were no worries with her taking this class all on her own. She jumped right in and she is the most talkative ( just like her mommy ;) however I wasn't the little social butterfly at her age like she is now) She gets on her little spot and she tries her hardest to do her best. With each class she is able to do something new or better then the class before. She loves her ballet shoes and tap shoes and especially her ballet skirt. As the year goes on, I am curious to she what part of class she like the best ballet, gymnastics , or tap.

The only difficult part for Mikaela is when it is Molly's day at the little gym and Mikaela has to sit and watch her sister get to play with the gymnastic stuff, bubbles balls and bells.

No more baby classes for MiKay!

Mikaela's rainy day

The very last photo is my absolute fav. She put the flower in her own hair and we just hung out in the yard on a warm rainy day while Molly napped. Just Mommy and MiKay.

Molly is 9 mos old!!! We call her Toothy!!!!

9 Months

21lbs

30 "

6 teeth since 7 months old

Molly is now 9 mos old and we have a bit to share about her.First I do have to say that this blog might turn into a separate tale about just Molly's journey. I haven't decided what I am going to do yet, I might add a whole new blog from us all together so you all can follow her development and other can look up her blog and see that they are not alone if they are going through the same thing.

Now I don't know if you have noticed that most of the pictures of Molly is of her sitting in her highchair or something. Well the truth is she is not sitting up. Now I know what you are thinking she will get there and YES SHE WILL IF THIS MOMMY HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!!!.

Molly has been charted at 3-4 mos old physically. A 3 month old brand new baby moves more then Molly does. Don't get me wrong she looks at her hands and responds to you but prior to the last few weeks she is living up to her name Molly Dolly. She just lays there. There are time she may grab something to bang at it but that is all. She squeals alot to get attention but no real "mama or dada or baba"

I know what you are thinking all babies develop at different rates well she is not doing anything new to report up until 3 weeks ago. To really understand Molly's situation you would have to spend some time with her and I don't mean just a day I mean a few days at a time. We can explain it but it's different when you live it everyday.

Right now Molly is just Developmentally Delayed, Why, we don't know but we do have the right specialists in place to give her the start on the right path.Physical Therapy (Large Muscles) Occupational Therapy ( Small Muscle), Speech for language and oral muscles. Speech later on. A Massage every night and of course the Chiropractor to make sure her nervous system is in check. Hopefully after next weekend I can get her blog up and running to keep you all updated of her progress day by day or week by week.

her most recent success is jumping in the bouncer. She use to just stand or hang in it after her 2nd adjustment from the chiropractor she bounces and she sticks her tongue out which she has never done. She also just started to stick toys in her mouth. We are working on grabbing toys and food as well as pushing up on her arms, sitting and rolling. Those are the main thing right now , we are working on alot more than just that.
