Fun Videos

Here are a couple of videos that we recently shot. The first two are from the day Jocelyn spent playing on the trampoline. They put the hose on the trampoline so it would spray water every where. She loved it!

The next clip is from Jocelyn the other day eating her yogurt. She now will not let anyone feed her. She insists on doing it herself. She actually does a pretty good job, most of the time. This clip was taken one morning while eating breakfast. She just got up and her hair was a mess. She was so funny that morning.

Summer Days

We have had a quite a few adventures lately. We have had lots of good times with our friends and family. Jocelyn had her first time on a trampoline. She loved it. She just bounced around on the trampoline while the other girls jumped. At first she was a little hesitant but then couldn't get enough jumping. We also had our big lake trip. Jocelyn was a great camper. She spent much time in the lake swimming around. She also played with side walk chalk and all the rest of the kids. She did an awesome job getting dirty.

Jocelyn is busy growing and learning new skills. She is picking up new signs all the time. She now knows the sign for dog, cat, horse, cow, pig, hot, cold, milk, eat, bye, more, please, dirty, all done, book, and shoes. We are working on a few others right now as well. She does a great job imitating and picking up on new signs and words.

Jocelyn also recently received her ankle orthosis which are custom made orthotics that will give her foot and ankle more support. She tends to pronate, meaning rotate her foot in when she stands. This keeps her more upright and gives her more support so that she can walk. She is super close to walking. She has started taking 3-4 steps by herself at a time. It will just be any day now that she will just take off down the hall then nothing will be safe.

Swimming Lessons

The last two weeks of July, Jocelyn went to her first swim lessons. She did a great job. She did not have any hesitation to the water. She was very excited to splash around. I think her favorite part were the songs that we sang. She even jumped off the the diving board 3 times. (with her life jacket on of course to the life guard) She also went under water a few times. We are definitely looking forward to next year' classes.
