18 Months Old

This month has been big one for you Georgia - about two weeks ago you decided to officially walk! Everyday you are becoming more and more steady on your feet and you're very proud of your new skill.

Last week we went to a speech and physical therapist to get a baseline of where you are post transplant. We first met with the speech therapist who said it was so fun to evaluate someone who is doing so well - you scored high/above average for the 12-18 month category and are already in the middle of the 18-24 month range! For physical therapy you are right on track with your fine motor skills and on the low end of normal for gross motor - this all makes sense, gross motor was really the thing that was taken away from you all that time in the hospital. No additional help is needed, just practice and a little more time - I have a feeling you'll be running soon! All in all very impressive considering you were evaluated according to a test that is given to kids that have been allowed to just be normal kids!
This is the first birthday post this year where I can look back at the month and we haven't spent a day in the hospital.. that feels good. You are as sweet as you are opinionated and I can't wait to see what's to come. I love you Georgia girl!

Here are a few pics from this month:

Wearing your "beads of courage".. you've earned every one (and are still owed a few)

Setting up for a tea party

I guess you're expecting quite a few people

Tea wasn't the only party you had this month...
