Bike ride!

Check out my baby girl on her bike! This was her first bike ride and she seemed to like it. We were only able to make it to the mail box and back home...as you can see it's right across the street so it wasn't that far.




I also have to tell you the new words Arianna can say: arm, knee, and eat! Today was the first time she said 'eat' and I was SO shocked. I was asking her if she was hungry then signed 'eat' at the same time I said it...and she signed & said it back to me! I started a list of words she can say and we are up to 26 words but only 18 words that someone besides myself could understand. I'm so proud of my baby girl! It's been a slow road with her speech but I know she will talk when she is ready.

She looks ADORABLE!!! Makes her look like such a big girl! I can't wait to get Vaeh on something like that!

Luv ya!

Look at her!
And talking! As always...I'm jealous! Ok...when was her first word. Isaac still hasn't said a sound! He can growl and scream and giggle...I guess that's all he needs to do.

Does she put her little feet on the pedals or just let you push her around!??

Have a fun weekend!
Thanks for sharing the pics!

Oh Vanessa..
When I tell you that I'm jealous...I am...but, I LOVE that she's doing so many things. It doesn't discourage me at all....it does quite the opposite. You know...out of all our heart babies...there aren't many with Digeorge...and it's the Digeorge portion of Isaac that I most worry about. I am THRILLED to know that (even though he's going to be SOOOO late)...that he WILL WALK, he WILL TALK, and one day he might decide that he likes food!!!

I don't like to compare him...but, I do look more closely at my digeorge babies...and it's you guys that inspire me most!

So...PLEASE keep telling us all the good and the bad...it's that balance that helps me understand Isaac's future!!!

Much love,
kathy

What fun...we had the same bike for Seth and it was perfect...made it a lot easier to teach him how to do it himself.

I am just amazed at how far she has come this summer....she is just blossoming into such a pretty little princess (and don't she know it!)

Thanks for the fun pics

Vanessa she is so cute on her bike, I am very Jealous I can not wait for Logan to do something like that. I forgot to tell you Logan's geneticist Appt is on Thursday. I will let you know what happens, He has had a little genetic testing when he was in the NICU when he was first born. That was just to make sure he did not have Downs.
Keep up the good work Arianna! Way to go.

That's so wonderful that she is saying more words! I just love hearing words come out of these little mouths....and intentionally! Sooo cute. I love the bike pics. What a dolly.
