Lil Miss Independence!

So we evaluated Rachel's eating b/c she hates eating solids. We were concerned it was early signs of Sensory Processing Disorder which Harmon has. NOPE, it was just that she wanted to eat independently. The speech language pathologist tested her first w/baby food and Rach spit it all over the lady. So than we started w/carrots that were boiled and chopped... she ate them all by herself and LOVED them. So we tried more advanced foods: egg, macaroni, and even a little pizza bagel. She ate it all up! She just loved these big kid foods and feeding herself. So nothing is wrong. She is just ahead of her time.

That is the way little Rachel is. She is an overacheiver. I feel bad b/c she is struggling to learn to walk b/c of her feet (she can't stand flat) so we got her some shoes that hopefully will help correct the problem and she will be starting massage again next week. But honestly I'm not in any hurry for her to start walking. She gets around way to well as it is already and I dunno if I am ready for 2 walkers in the house!!! In other news she is just doing well. Her speech is right on target and so are her other milestones. Finally in other fun news her eyes have officially lightened to green... now the question is will she a blonde like her brothers or a brunette like me?

  1. What a cute girl. I am so glad that she is fine and just a little too independent. And good luck with the walking.
