Dance

Poppy's been spending a lot of time with the girls while he can. His work has calmed down and he can come home for dinner and a dance. Soon he'll have to work late again, but the girls are enjoying him while they can.

Feeling Down

We've had some down moments with Helen when she's not been feeling well or unable to communicate her needs. She's really had a breakthrough in her comprehension lately and her communication. She's using her signs for more and milk and she's really cute when she says pee (please) and rubs her chest. Now, she's not as quick to break out crying UNLESS she's hungry.

GROW

I remember these being a lot of fun when I was a kid. But I forgot that you have to get the water scalding hot so that the capsules will open in a timely fashion. Luckily, Carys is patient and after 30 minutes or so, we finally had our first shape revealed.

Catching Up

Let's catch up on what's been going on with Carys and Helen. There have been many good times, some great times with some not so good moments in between.

To begin, there's been lots of this.

Helen Uses a Spoon!

I know, I've not posted pics for some time. We've been having electrical work and the computer area has not been a very nice place to be.

Just an update and I'll try to post pics this week but we've returned from our vacation and Helen is using a spoon. Usually on the first couple of bites and if she's really hungry, it's back to grabbing and shoveling food with her hand. But she's making amazing progress. And it's interesting to note that Carys informed me of this new development even before I saw it with my own eyes. So Carys is observing Helen's milestones as much as we are now. Funny.
