McKinzie had a great visit with the preemie specialist team that has been following her progress. She is tested on the Bayley scale of development which measures her cognative and motor skills. Even after having to wake up early on a rainy morning McKinzie still tested at her adjusted age (11 months) for cognative and at her actual age (14 months) for fine and gross motor skills. She is right on track and even ahead of schedule as far as the doctors are concerned. And as all this is wonderful news, we were strongly cautioned again to keep McK as healthy as possible during this cold and flu season. Her lungs are still at a crucial point, so we are staying away from stores, restaurants and people in general to avoid any more hospital time!
We're celebrating! McKinzie took her first solo flight on Dec 27 - taking 7 steps! She's stepping out on her own more every day. She'll be running around in no time!
McKinzie also says Da Da and Mum! It's very fun and cute for us! Happy New Year!
We wish you a Merry Christmas!
McKinzie was up until almost midnight last night! How did she know it was Christmas Eve? She had a great time waiting for Santa - giggling and talking. It made our night! Merry Christmas to all!
was a full table at Thanksgiving - in Ohio! To keep McKinzie out of the crowded airports we made a roadtrip to remember. McK was a great traveler - she loved playing chase with Daddy at each reststop! At G & G Whiteman's house McKinzie got to soak up her Uncle Mike, Aunt Katie and cousins Silas, Lydia and Lizzie! She had a chance to experience the cold weather, maybe even seeing a few teeny weeny snowflakes! We loved the time with family and were so thankful for the chance to be together!
