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.
