Hi all, I'm back again. It's been over a week, I know. I've been waiting until I was strong enough to show you some good pictures of my new tricks. Picture one is daddy holding me in a sitting position with minimal support to my head. I can hold it up pretty good. I try to look all around. I'm getting so strong, but still need just a little bit of support with my neck. I'm still trying to coordinate my back muscles and still need a lot of support there. Picture two is daddy holding me in a standing position to help me get my feet planted firmly on the ground. I like to bend my knees and then push up big and tall. Picture three is me sitting up all by myself in my high chair. It reclines, but my parents had it all the way up in the seated position. It gives me a lot of support in my back but still makes me work to keep my head up straight. Pictures four and five are of me at the hospital before my recent procedure that I told you about in one of my other posts. I can't believe how far I have come. I can't wait to show you what I can do next. I had a pretty busy week this past week. I went to a clinic put on by the Muscular Dystrophy Association. I got to see people involved with every aspect of my care. I probably saw about 15 or so different people. They said that I am doing great and didn't have any suggestions for me at this time. I just need to keep doing what I am doing. The one thing that I did get out of it was some new therapeutic shoes. I grew out of my old ones already. I got fitted and measured and should be expecting them in the next few weeks. For all of you who take care of me and love me, keep up the good work. I really appreciate it!

As some of you may know, my one year birthday is coming up really fast. It is December 6th for those of you who don't know. It is the same day as my daddy's birthday. Keep your eyes open for an invite or information on what I will be doing. Just so you know, I am having just a small party becuase it is the cold season. I'm doing so good that I don't want to get sick now. Don't worry though, you will all be included in some way. More details to follow.
