Its been a while

Its been a while, Im sorry that I haven't had the chance to log on and write. Life has been a little hectic with a newborn and Noel is now cruising around the house. She is walking along furniture, climbling all over the place, up on the couch, up the stairs, everywhere. Its great to see her come along the way she is, its such a huge difference from the way she was before when you would never even know she was there. Now when I get home from work and say hello to all the kids, Noel comes crawling up to me and stands up to hug my leg. 

The above is some more recent pics of Noel and her sisters. She is really growing up, im so excited to take her up to a seminar at the West Virginia School for the Deaf/Blind in two weeks, we will be staying there all weekend and learning different thinks about braille, working with the cane and touring the school she will be starting in April 2011. 

Crawling

Noel crawled for the 1st time yesterday, as usual it made me cry. I was so happy to see her go from her one knee crawl to two knee's and two hands , she did run straight into the wall , and she cried for all of about 3 seconds but its a learning process. Mommy is proud.

So this week we had our appointment with Ms Karen and great reports, we did our year end review and Noel has done great with her gross motor skills. So that was really good news, over the weekend we tried out the pool with Noel, she really isn't into the water that much, but Im gonna really try and get her into there as much as I can this summer. The next few weeks is all about textures, as you can see from the blog this week we are focusing on wood. Tree's cardboard, anything made from wood. We shall see how this texture goes.
