Blog Makeover

Hi folks,

I gave my blog a little makeover. Let me know if you like it! In addition to the new background, I also added some links of other CHARGErs websites that I love to read and I got a great idea from a couple of sites to add some music. I added some of the songs that my mommy sings to me and some songs we dance to. If you wish to turn it off just scroll down to the bottom of the page.

Love Evie

Computer Discovery

When Daddy and Mommy were not looking I decided to check out this "computer thing" they are always on. It is really cool. I can see why they love this.

Oh Oh...Busted!!!! "Hey... I was playing a game"

As you can see my shoulder is getting better so, conveniently, I can get try to get on this couch to get my game back!!!

"Where did it go? I know it's up here!!"

"Ok I guess a cuddle is just as good"

Shoulder Woes

Clapping other people's hands together is now my new favorite pastime!!

Hello Everyone!!!

I have been slacking in posting on here but I wanted to give you a quick update. I injured my shoulder 2 weeks ago. No one is quite sure how it happened but I wouldn't crawl or pull myself up to a stand. I love walking with mommy holding on to me and I couldn't do that either. It has gotten a little better. I am now crawling around again but I still won't pull myself up or walk with mommy. We had a x-ray taken but it showed nothing so for now it's a mystery??

I start swimming class on Oct. 20. I don't know if my mom is more scared of me in the water or her in a bathing suit post baby :)

I also am getting an FM system which is great!!! For those who are unaware of what that does, it allows mommy to wear a mic on her and it goes directly into my hearing aid no matter where she is in the house. Because of this it helps with blocking out background noises when she is talking to me. My audiologist thinks this will be great for me.

Catch Me if You Can!!!

I'm getting faster and faster!!! I'm actually up off my belly now so the next step is hands an knees!!!!

I'm such a Mommy's girl now that I cry when she walks away. OK....OK... I know all kiddos go through a phase like that at some point but my Mommy thinks it is quite funny because for months I hated to even be picked up. Now I cry if you put me down. Yep.. I sure am full of surprises.

Finally... A New Post!

OK... so it's been a while. In my defence I've been pretty sick...and my mom has been pretty sick of me getting sick. Throughout all of the hospital stays and Dr's appointments I have been making strides in my Gross motor skills. Currently I am trying to crawl on my hands and knees. I can do 4 in a row without falling over. Also my physiotherapist is working on kneeling with me and now I do it at home all of the time. These are pictures with me at my fun table at home and of me kneeling at the Children's Center. I love playing up on my table but I can't quite figure out how to pull myself up on it....or down.

Me and My Daddy

My Mommy thinks this picture is funny

I really love my Daddy

Lately I have been working really hard at being happy about wearing my sunglasses. Just the other day I met my Daddy outside when he came home from work while wearing them. I think it's cool how Daddy wears them on top of his head sometimes so Mommy thought I should give it a try!!! What do you guys think?? Does this look work for me????

Funny Games

Me behaving myself

I can now sit using my arms for support for 10 mins

Well I haven't had much time to post lately. My mommy has went back to work part-time AND the Olympics are on. It is Olympic madness here at the Ali household. I like the games so much I decided to make up one of my own. I call it "Fall Backward and Hope Mommy Catches Me". My Mommy is working very hard at getting me to sit without using my arms for support. She creates all sorts of ways for me to practice this (my longest time is 5 seconds). But with all this working I get a little bored so I decided to throw myself back just like I did when I was small (well....smaller than I am now). I just fly backwards and my mommy catches me and I smile and giggle, she tries to sit me up again....and back I go!!! I think this is so much fun and even though my Mommy is not very happy about it she can't help but laugh.

Talk to you soon,

Evie
