busy?! Like everyone I suppose! I've got a few updates, but sadly, no fun pictures to share. Maybe tomorrow? Ella saw a dr. at Children's a few weeks ago (after the 15 mo. checkup) and he said it was "classic torticollis" Well, I'm SO glad our pediatrician waited until NOW to refer us to you. Oh well. So, we did a physical therapy session that same day, and then last week Wednesday. On Wednesday, the therapist was very impressed with Ella's neck movements and range/strength and thought we'd be done sooner rather than later with therapy. The original plan was to do bi-weekly therapy appointments until December, so that is encouraging news. We have stretches to work with Ella on at home, and mostly we have to encourage her to look to her left and then hold that pose. Somedays are easier than others to get Ella to sit for those! So, we head back to the therapist next week and we'll see what happens.
Ella's not walking on her own yet, but the toy baby stroller she has might start burning lines in the carpet! She's a maniac (maniac)....it's fun to watch. And I can tell that she's really proud of herself for accomplishing a walk behind the stroller from one side of the room to the other. :) So, it's probably only a matter of time. I keep trying to catch this on video, but it's always when I'm home by myself and usually Ella steers the stroller in a crazy direction - I just don't have enough arms!
She's got all kinds of fun new words in her vocabulary. Puppy and hot are the 2 latest additions. My favorite right now is "all gone" - she says it really cute, like a question.
Check back for pictures soon!
