Reveille is doing well
Reveille is down for a nap right now and I thought I would just give everyone a general update. The last few weeks have been significant in her development. During her weekly physical therapy, she has started to hold herself up on her hands and knees. It is daunting to think that before too very long she will be cruising around our home. It will also be an undertaking to baby proof everything. She is also seeing an occupational therapist twice a month and will start seeing a speech therapist soon. Each individual is great and it is encouraging to have so many people aiding Reveille as she recognizes the world around her more and interacts with it on a larger scale.We have also begun solid foods. To be honest, she hasn’t taken to them that quickly and is still trying to grasp the whole spoon thing. We have not seemed to find any flavors she really enjoys either, but we just raided Target and got about every fruit & vegetable combo we could. Hopefully over the next few days we’ll find a few things that dazzle her little palette. Finally, we are asked pretty consistently about how her relationship with our dogs is. They continue to sniff her and giver her licks every once and a while, but that is all the interest they have. Reveille on the other hand has taken to them a bit more. She enjoys the feeling of furry things and has taken an interest in grabbing Mesquite, our dog with the longest coat. He tolerates it like a champ. Although, after so long he will leave when he has had enough. That is it for now. Halloween is fast approaching and we still have to choose a costume for her. No matter what she ends up being I am sure some fun pictures will come out of it and I look forward to posting them for everyone to see.

Hi John & Heather - Thank you for the updates and pictures on Grandpa Larry’s favorite little girl! He gives me regular updates on her progress and he was especially proud that she picked him to hold her last Sunday at church. Your fun is picking up and the dogs may be more interested in the Eating Game when food flies all over the floor… one little tip we learned with our grandkids is when she begins to feed herself cereal, it is easier to mix it with fruit flavored yogurt than milk and it is so less messy. You see, I never drink milk (never have and never will) but can eat yogurt and ice cream (something to do with the cooking process)so use them with cereal. Sure makes cleaning up easier! Love to all of you! Aunt Sandra
Thats a great tip. We’ll have to keep that in mind as that time draws near.
