Portage, physio and general update

Today was her latest appt with portage and physio, I haven't yet blogged how amazing Reagan has done with her development lately!

She's done so well since Nov time really but her biggest news is that she is CRAWLING!! well she kinda bum shuffles with her legs to one side and also uses her hands! Its very similar to how Peyton got about!
She started on 28th Jan, she varied at first between all fours and how she goes now! She woud only do two in succession at first but soon she gave up on the all fours and favoured the unusual way!!

Sleep wise, I can't remember if I've blogged this or not, she now goes to bed at a. Ormolu. Ed time...........I know! It's amazing! So she goes up between about 7.30 and 8 she gets put down awake and thats it! She doesn't yet do this during the day tho, don't know why!
It still varies how much she gets up but usually between 3-5 times..........I know it's still quite shit but such a huge improvement on 7-10!!! Plus she is on her own bed and not ours! On the down side she does think that 6-6.30 is an acceptable time to wake for the day! *sigh* also when she wakes up, and i mean before her eyes have even rurally opened she sits up! Then of course that just wakes her up fully and she can't get back to sleep!if only it was acceptable to strap them into their cots like we do pushchairs and highchairs!!!!!!

She also pulls her self to her knees and has even once pulled herself to standing! She says 'hello' she learnt this in the hospital last wk whilst having her transfusion, she was playing with a toy phone and i puked it up and said hello into it and she copied! Clever girl....very cute of course.
She was saying 'bye' but doesn't seem to do that any more. When she drops something she says 'uh-oh'.
And over the last day or two she is really enjoying being on her feet, yesterday she even cruised a little along the sofa! When i try to put her down on the floor she keeps her legs straight to stand on! Yet she still doesn't like her walker...but then she still cant go anywhere in it!

Anyway when the ladies from portage and physio came today they were incredibly impressed with her. Portage said they were happy not to see her again but were leaving the lines of communication open just incase i needed them again and physio said that they would like to see her at least one more time but not for another 2 mths and that would probably be the last time. They were only he for half hr, last time it was an hr.

Also today she mastered a little step both down and up! She was very pleased with herself, and quite rightly so I thought!
