Kids on the Move

That's right - KIDS, plural, on the move!!!

Ava has been grabbing her toes and rolling to her right side for a few weeks.  She has been getting physical therapy help on Monday's and Wednesday's most weeks. This past Monday her PT had her roll down a big foam wedge, much to mom's shock and fear, but she did it twice with flying colors.  On Tuesday, she went back to pediatric surgery to remove the PEG tube (that stuck out of her belly pretty far in a loop shape) and replace it with a button (a tube that is more flush to her belly).  On Tuesday night, she did something similar to this:



These were taken on Thursday night.  On Tuesday night she had scooted herself off of her blanket by 90 degrees and was laying flat on her belly (her right arm had moved out from under her).  I was in the kitchen and she started crying.  I came in to find Maddi looking at Ava, who was in a completely different spot!  Ava has just turned 7 months old - way to go Ava!!

Maddi has started a gymnastics class and absolutely loves it.  We have very tall kids and Maddi is by far the tallest 2 year old in her class, but Daddy says she is also the best listener ;-).

This is Maddi on her way to her first class.  She kept saying, "Mom, I excited".

Mason has also started a gymnastics class.  He is in a class with  4 year old boys, even though he doesn't turn 4 until December, and is doing a great job.  He listens to Coach Derek very well and Mom and Dad don't go to the actual class with him!

This is Mason before his first class. Since I couldn't go into the class with him I had to get a picture through the glass.
