Yeah! I am clapping on command and when I gets excited about something (after countless hours of working on learning this skill)! This short clip is of me clapping and then I get a little distracted because there are some kids playing on the basketball court. Not even daddy's gentle attempt at refocusing me even helped! :) Good thing I am limber in the neck too! I love you daddy ;)
This summer has been full of fun and growth spurts! Daniella will be 5mo on September 1st and she is weighing in at 18.5lbs! She is also in the 96 percentile for height! She has started rice cereal and has quite the flirty personality (still very feisty during feeding time!) She is rolling over and loves to stand and cruise in her walker. She and brother have snazzy bibs (hers with pearls and lace and his with a tie and flare!) and side by side highchairs for double feeding time to save mom some time!

Brother Dante is standing and playing with toys, moving from and army crawl to a hands and knees crawl. He is making great strides in his fine and gross motor....he is now clapping on command and when he likes something. Cruising all over the house is an understatement. He has not mastered the stairs yet but when he does...Lord help me!

Life with two little ones is crazy but a blessing! They are so cute together and Dante loves to give Daniella kisses (headbutts). She loves to grab on to anything she can so Dante's hair is always a favorite...he gets a kick out of it:) I am so excited (and a tad nervous) to see what full mobility will bring out of these two little ones!





Look at me go!!!

Dante and Uncle Eddie walking towards Daddy on the yacht in Sausilito. He was so excited and proud of himself. Next week he begins working on the treadmill at the Easter Seals. So amazing:)

Water Therapy!





Here is another example of my therapy sessions. I go to Water Therapy once a week in Sac at the Easter Seals facility. The purpose of it is to help me build a strong core and engage the muscles needed to start crawling and walking. Eric and I work really hard in these sessions but it feels more like a swim party:) I have been going for 2 months now and I love it!

OT and PT for DD!





Many of you have asked what I do in my therapy sessions so mom videoed an example. I am in my Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy session with Ms. Georgia (on the ball--PT) and Ms. Mandie (OT). Usually they are two appointments but this time, they co-treated so I worked twice as hard. It looks like we are playing but don't kid yourself, I bust my bootie in these appts! :) Sister joins us every week too but usually she is sleeping or mom is feeding her in the other room.

Daniella is growing up so fast!





Well sister is growing so fast. I think she may catch up to me soon. She is already 14lbs and she is only 2 months old! What is mom feeding her??? ;) She is fun though and we really get along well. I do miss having more attention but I guess I can share it with her.
