Things that she has accomplished lately have been very big things (the biggest things that she got the extra help for). She has really started to take off in about the last 10 days. She is walking everywhere it seems now. She can even bend down to pick up a toy without falling (which I think is really good considering how long she has had her total balance just standing!). I have also seen her start to walk backwards a little bit!
She has started to pick up her food!!! On the 11th, our developmental specialist came to our house for her session (we thought it would be good for her to see Quinn in both her daycare and home environments). While she was here, one of the things we were doing is eating. Quinn had a few beef and noodles, peanut butter jelly, and applesauce (last minute meal). This was the first time that I saw her dive in at home (she had been picking up food at daycare which was making mommy a bit jealous). I teased our specialist that she just might have to come over for dinner all of the time. Quinn has been doing pretty good since. I found out that one of the things that might have been preventing her was me: without even thinking, I automatically put food in her right hand, as well as the spoon. When she eats on her own, she is using her left hand. So, Quinn might be a lefty - but it doesn't matter to me. Whatever works best for her!
On Saturday, she started doing some pretty good block stacking. This was the first time that I saw her build (she always loved to knock them down). Without my helping to steady or re-align the blocks, she was able to get to putting a 5th block on before it would fall. Pretty good Quinnie-Q!
She has also gotten such long hair now that I had to get some little clips for her hair. Isn't she cute?
