"because you're mine..."

In the slightly altered words of a great man Mr Johnny Cash, I want to let you all know that Miss Paisley started crawling TODAY! It's truly a miracle, last week she was evaluated by an occupational therapist as being about 4-6 months delayed in her gross motor skills, at which point she could barely sit unassisted, could not push up on her arms and had such low muscle tone and loose ligaments that we feared she may dislocate her joints! But a week of good food, lots of sleep and spending 90% of her day on the floor playing with her big sister & Mum, the kid decides she wants to break records! Yesterday she couldnt even get on her hands and knees, but today she can make it about 10-15 feet before stopping....I'm going to take some video tomorrow, I'll post it here so you can see her progress, it's not fast and it's not pretty but it is a magical and beautiful blessing to me!

You go, girl! I am sooooo thrilled, although not surprised, to hear of your progress, Paisley. Awesome news. Now go crawl around and find something inappropriate to get into.

Hugs!

Awesome! Snowflake also progressed very quickly after we got home. She wasn't significantly delayed, but now she isn't at all and the changes have been breathtaking. Fantastic for Paisley!
