This girl amazes me every day. We worry about her so much and whether she'll be strong enough and able to make it through a day of kindergarten next year. She makes progress all the time and we are always wowed at things we never thought she'd be able to do (like ride a bike for instance... she's been riding a bike (with training wheels) at physical therapy the past few weeks). </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">This was a big year for our family, especially for Britta. Our move to Waco led us to discover what is wrong with her little body. The doctors at Seattle Children's were never able to figure it out-- and we saw SO many doctors there! After we moved to Waco, we found this really great pediatric physical therapy center. It's called Elite, and Britta's physical therapist is the BEST. She suggested we see a doctor in Fort Worth at Cook Children's Hospital to get Britta a specialized pair of braces to help her walk more stably. Well, we made an appointment, and the doctor there insisted we figure out what Britta's real issue was first. Apparently in the last few years there have been more panels of tests that have been developed that didn't exist when Britta was born. So, we ran some of those new panels (more specialized muscle issues). Sure enough, one of them came back positive. Britta has something called titinopathy. Basically, one of her DNA strands is missing the "titin" gene... which more or less makes your muscles bounce back after they move-- which explains her muscle laxity. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">After all these years of wondering, we are grateful to know why Britta is the way she is. Frighteningly though, since our hearts and lungs are also muscles, titinopothy also affects those too. So for the rest of her life, we'll be getting her lungs and heart checked frequently. Her first scan in November showed that so far her heart and lungs are doing great. We are so grateful. Even more miraculously in our move to Waco is that Cook Children's sends their cardiologist and pulmonologist down to Waco once a month, so we don't even have to make the two hour drive to Fort Worth to get Britta checked. We can do it just a few miles away from our home. God's hand was in this move to Waco, 100%. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg0DpgcGUFPy51KiI7icqI5CF6Q9rkSV29ge3thaAKy7Dcvo8nPjRU-2HBB7rWQt2zQzhFOSljREeYjUF2HwKVkw-7OdKdyMIaNAbJMu5LMrQ_jD9bNg_QYAdlbEq32nD2DbiPNjhpgjpbrT4ljEcgCWqaEV5HbzGA8qEGzk08mGoyPcXjG7VGlQkUN4A=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em;

We joke that we are allergic to Texas. I think all the allergies have hit me and Britta the hardest. She seems to always have a runny nose and picks up any sickness going around-- which is not fun. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">She finally got braces that she wears from sun up to sun down, basically.

Life got insanely busy and I've just never gotten around to updating anything on here for way too long. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">LAST January, our family packed up our home in Washington and said goodbye to the Evergreen state. Moving is so emotional-- especially with kids. All the emotions took a toll on me this year. Saying goodbye to a home, a lifestyle, and dear friends is so hard. We are grateful for our new home in Texas... but it still feels bittersweet to be here. Grateful we followed the impressions to come, but sad at the good things we left behind. Thankfully all our kids adjusted mostly well (we had a few hard moments with Marin and Paige) and they have all settled into life here.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Sweet little Raegan turned two LAST July... and here we are in January. But I couldn't not post about it... even though I'm late. Raegan is the cutest two year old. She speaks so well, has a mind of her own, and everyone loves to give her kisses, hugs and cuddles. She rolls with all the games they want to play with her (pretending she's a puppy, putting her to bed, making her their patient while they give her "medicine" to make her better, tea parties, and all sorts of other shenanigans). </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I can't believe she's five and old enough for kindergarten. Her birthday was just a few days before the cut-off... and we debated whether we should make her wait another year to go to school. But Paige is ready. So ready. We are doing online school indefinitely here in Washington due to COVID and it makes my heart ache thinking of how much more magical kindergarten would be in a school classroom instead of on a Chromebook at home. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I wish I could joke around and play with this cute girl all day long (her little sisters are demanding, or I totally would). She is such a ray of sunshine. She loves to laugh and to make people laugh. She's a big goofball and loves to play and is always up for an adventure. She's starting to read pretty good, if only her 30 second attention span wouldn't get in the way. She loves to dance and play dress-up and play dolls ALL DAY LONG with Marin (and sometimes Britta). </span><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We celebrated by going to a park and playing all morning.

Has a sweet tooth, just like most of her sisters. </span><br style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);" /><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><br /><b>SLEEPING</b>: We are down to one nap a day. She usually sleeps for a solid two hours, sometimes longer. <br /><br /><b>WEARING</b>: Twelve months and 18 months. <br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"></span><b>I</b><b>NTERESTING</b> <b>TIDBITS: </b>She runs on her tippy toes with her hands in the air, and her knees kick way up high, like she's trying to be a prancing horse. It's the cutest thing.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">She is a mama's girl through and through. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">She has been a cranky-pants the last few weeks with teething and getting her one year old molars. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">She is generally happy and loves to smile and laugh. Paige and Isaac can tickle her better than anyone and make her laugh so hard. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Britta likes to "play" with her which generally ends with Britta pushing Raegan to the ground.

I guess that's what I get for just putting food on her tray and letting her eat herself. Sometimes I wonder if she gets any in her mouth. She has this new thing for loving ice.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She has started to copy a lot more the things her sisters do or say.... for instance, Britta was playing in the curtains with her today and popping out and saying, "BOO!" And Raegan instantly started saying "Boo!" too. Marin was singing some tune in the car today and Raegan started voicing the same melody. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She likes to shake her head no when we offer her something and sometimes even says, "NUH!" </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Loves to explore anything and everything-- every nook and cranny of the house, every cupboard, every little item left on the floor... she is so curious. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Britta likes to give Raegan some tough love.

I swear she just keeps getting cuter and cuter. How is that possible? We all love her so much. She's standing up so confidently. We keep thinking she's going to take a step any day now, but it hasn't happened yet. This COVID-19 stuff has thrown us all for a loop. But it has been so nice being home all day and not having to wake her up from a nap to pick up anyone from school. Raegan has been in heaven having 24-7 access to play with her big sisters-- they all smoother her with kisses and attention ALL DAY LONG. </span><br />

Sadly, it took away all her pretty dark hair (I love dark hair) and now her hair is a light brown. </span></span><br />

This girl is rapidly growing up! She has two new teeth-- these ones are her front top teeth, she crawls like a champ, pulls herself up and cruises on everything and can even stand for a few seconds by herself and... this might be the death of me... but she's trying to go up the stairs. Heaven help us. She even got a new haircut... her long, stringy locks were getting pretty bad looking. So, in an effort to make her not look homeless, Isaac cut off all her shaggy hair. </span><br />

<span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>EATING</b>: Loves eating real food, and downs baby food like nobody's business. Gets excited to have any food in her hands to pick up and devour. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Started crawling at the beginning of March. Just a few days later she started pulling herself up on things. First on me while I was sitting or laying down on the ground, and then on anything and everything she could grasp onto. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She loves our playroom... particularly standing up and pulling everything out of the dollhouse. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She is a busy, busy girl and puts EVERYTHING in her mouth and likes to rip up anything she can. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Her sisters are all little mothers to her. Marin wants to carry her everywhere (ugh), Paige likes to sit down with her and pull her all around while in her lap, and Britta likes to feed her as well as tell her what she should and should not be doing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She got sick last week. She had a fever for two straight days and nights. One night it got up to 102.4. She was miserable. After the fever went away, she got a weird rash up her tummy, back and neck that lasted for a few days. Isaac thinks it was roseola. </span><br />

She's incredibly smart, lovely, and so helpful and cute with her little sisters. We all adore her. </span><br />

She remembers everything. She knows every letter and sound and can read like a pro. Her drawing skills amaze me and she catches on to everything very quickly. At her very first Parent Teacher Conference, I was wowed by her skills, she is way above where most kindergarteners are on the scale. But I was also stumped as to what to do about a few other social skills she's lacking in... mainly she cries VERY easily and openly when she doesn't get her way or doesn't get something she was hoping to have. This happens at home, but I thought for sure it wasn't happening at school (obviously social awareness is not super sharp in kindergarten, but still... I hadn't heard about it happening, so how was I to know?). So, we have that. She's an emotional girl and I have no idea what to do about it. Hopefully her emotions will mature and simmer down a little bit a bit as she grows up, otherwise... heaven help us. :) </span></span></span><br />
<span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="line-height: 1.4;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Marin is so good with her sisters (most of the time). She was definitely born first in our family for a reason. She and Paige are best buds (most of the time) and she is so sweet and helpful with Britta and Raegan (most of the time). They all adore her. Britta gets so excited when we pick up Marin from Kindergarten, and shouts, "Marin, Marin, Marin!" as soon as she sees Marin coming out the school doors. All the parents get a kick out of it. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="line-height: 1.4;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Marin is so good at drawing. Her creative little mind wows me with her creations. After seeing a video of Jan Brett (the author and illustrator) at the school library one day, she decided she wants to be an illustrator too. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="line-height: 1.4;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="line-height: 1.4;">To celebrate Marin turning six, we threw her a Fairy Garden birthday party with a small group of friends. We even let Paige have a friend come too, so she'd be entertained. :) </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was so magical. They created indoor fairy gardens, went on a fairy treasure hunt outside and found magical necklaces with viles of fairy dust (glitter) in them that the fairies had left behind for them, and when they returned from their treasure hunt, fairies had found their home in each of the girl's fairy gardens. Marin and fairies are serious business. I think she believes more in fairies than she does Santa Claus. The girls had a good time and Marin was in heaven. </span><br />

Wow, did that fly! I still think of Raegan as our newborn. Yet she says "mama" and "dada" and clearly is trying to communicate with us constantly. To say she is delightful is a vast understatement. She is the BEST baby, always happy, chill and just DELIGHTFUL! </span><br />

Most days. Sleeps pretty well at nighttime. Wakes up once in the middle of the night sometimes, but not every night. Is always awake by 6 or 6:30, but will go back to sleep for another hour or two usually. Is often woken up from at least one of her naps everyday for school pickup or drop-off. </span><br />

Santa didn't bring her much, because she really just loves playing with her packages of baby wipes... something about that crunching sound babies just can't get enough of. Also, she can say, "Mama." It makes me happy. </span></span><br />

Sleeps for a few hours, usually, until around 1 p.m. and then has another nap after we pick up Marin from school. Has started to fall asleep much better when I just lay her down and close the door. She goes right to sleep. It's so nice. </span></span><br />

I suppose any two year old could have the same thing said of them, but with Britta I really mean it... In September (at 21 months old) she finally started walking. She hadn't even really attempted much before that, but something inside her clicked, and finally her little feet made it happen. Her physical therapist (Darlene Wagar), comes over every other week and works with her. She has been the biggest blessing in coming up with new ways to help Britta with her feet and also her hands. She made parallel bars for her a few months back and it really aided Britta in walking. She would cruise up and down those things all on her own without us even asking her to do it. She's been such a miracle to watch and we are so glad she's in our lives. </span></span><br />

We've been trying to work on her stepping with her feet and toes flat on the ground. It hasn't quite clicked yet. Hopefully she'll understand as she gets older so her feet don't get destroyed. </span></span></span></span></div>

I miss the cute, cuddly, fall asleep everywhere/anytime phase. She now wants to always be sitting up and looking at things and she no longer falls asleep in two minutes with noise all around her. I love that about newborns. Now, if I want her to fall asleep, we either have to go to her room and shut the door so she can have some peace and quiet, or she'll fall asleep when we are out on a drive running errands or picking up Marin from school. This sweet girl can have epic naps in her carseat. </span></span><br />

Her smiles make everyone melt. She's just such a happy, easy going baby. And her hair... it is still a fan favorite. She is also super ticklish... under her chin and her sides especially. Her little laugh makes us all smile and laugh too. </span></span><br />

Raegan was given her baby blessing in church the weekend of Labor Day. We had a lot of people who came to town to help celebrate: Grandma and Grandpa Reeve, Grandma and Grandpa Candrian, Rob and Lorena and their cute kids, and my cousin Camea and Clayton and their family came over for the blessing as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wish I (or someone) would have taken notes on what was said during her blessing, but it was such a beautiful blessing from Isaac. One of the things that stood out to me (and was mentioned by numerous people at church that day) was that Raegan would be a defender of the weak. I envisioned her standing up for Britta as older children and being her big sister's biggest fan, friend, and advocate. I know we have this sweet girl in our family for a reason. Her smiles, pleasant, easy-going personality, and joy she's brought into our lives confirms that.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Her hair is everyone's favorite and EVERYBODY who sees her comments on it. It's just so wild and sticks out everywhere.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>RICHLAND, WASH. -- </b>We've survived an entire month with four kids! Whew! What a crazy month it has been. We've had visitors nearly a month straight. Isaac's parents came to be with our kids when Raegan was born, then Isaac was home for a week from work, then my mom came, then a few days later Brittany and her kids came. We loved every second of it, but boy was it a busy, exhausting month! We sure love this little girl! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This past week, the week of her blessing at church, her poor little face broke out in baby acne. I'm not talking about a little breakout. We are talking a massive, horrendous breakout. All over her face, behind her ears, her chest, back... it's so sad. None of my other babies ever got acne, so this hasn't been a pleasant (at least not pleasant looking) experience. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>I</b><b>NTERESTING</b> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>TIDBITS: </b>She started preschool this school year and LOVES it. When we arrived on the first day we were pretty early, so I told her we had to wait for a few minutes. She was not happy about this news and very adamantly said, "But I want to go inside NOW and see my teachers!" She did not want to wait! She has four other little girls in her class who are in our ward, so that made it really easy for her to not be nervous.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The day before school started, I asked her if she was scared about anything for preschool and she quietly (and dramatically) said, "I'm scared no one will like me." No idea where she came up with that idea. I wasn't aware four year olds had this worry in life. ha ha (she probably heard it on a show or something?). Oh sweet Paige.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She continues to be the biggest goofball and doesn't like to be serious for too long before cracking a joke, bugging somebody or acting funny. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She still has an attachment to her gray blanket, affectionately (and simply) called her gray blankie.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">She comes across as very shy but loves to play with her friends and go to friends' houses more than anything.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">She and Marin are crazy competitive and know how to push each other's buttons like no other. They are also each other's best playmates and can entertain each other for hours playing dolls and make believe. Marin starting Kindergarten has been a little rough for this reason. Paige doesn't know what to do by herself some days. She likes to declare "I"m boooored!" But she's becoming good buddies with Britta and is incredibly good at including her when she plays. She also likes to do little chores for me when my hands are full with Raegan. I don't know what I'd do without my little Paigey Paige! </span><br />

By 8 a.m. my induction had begun and we were off to a slow moving start with our crotchety nurse reminding us every chance she got that being "advanced maternal age" was not a real reason to be induced and that we shouldn't have been scheduled already. She sure made us feel welcome! Thankfully our night nurse, whose name I wish I remembered, was the most amazing nurse we've ever had. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After several hours of erratic contractions, the doctor (Dr. Mulholland) broke my water to speed things up. Soon thereafter, the contractions picked up steam and got incredibly painful. So, I asked for the much beloved epidural. I'd had three incredibly awesome ones with my previous births that killed all horrible pain without a hitch. God bless the person who invented the epidural! I was starting to think how lucky I was that my epidurals had always worked wonders, when just before 8 p.m. I started feeling incredible pressure-- indicating that the baby wanted out ASAP. I'd experienced this pressure, to an extent, with my other babies, so I knew just what it meant. I called the nurse, who called the doctor and told him to return from his dinner break STAT! Ten minutes later, the doctor was in the room and it was game time. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now... unlike my previous births, the pressure usually didn't bother me, because, like I said, those epidurals worked amazingly. This one, however, started to feel alarmingly different. Suddenly the pressure I was feeling turned into enormous pressure and then irritatingly uncomfortable pain. As soon as they told me to start pushing, the pain increased and the pressure was the most enormous, uncomfortable, horrendous pain I'd ever experienced. I couldn't push this baby out fast enough! Suddenly, all those awful stories I'd heard about people's epidurals not working, were coming true for me! I was so thrown off and mind-boggled by all of it. It was so unexpected and completely caught me off guard. As I started pushing, I kept looking up to Isaac (who was standing to the left of me) and grabbing at him-- wanting him to grab the baby out and make my pain go away! Isaac later told me he knew something was wrong by the look of absolute terror on my face. The pain was immense and I was SO mad my epidural stopped working right at the time it was supposed to work the best! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, that awful pressure turned into a fiery pain that was beyond anything I'd ever felt. The nurse told me to wait for the next contraction to start pushing, but you couldn't have had me wait to push if you paid me a billion bucks. I told her I would not be waiting, but I was going to keep pushing because I wanted this experience over NOW. So, I pushed a few good more pushes and out sweet baby Raegan came. I think I pushed for less than ten minutes-- which was far less than any of my other babies. Normally my doctors had me laying down to push, but this doctor left me sitting straight up, so I was able to see my sweet little baby as soon as she was in the doctor's arms. It made me tear up to see the most beautiful little girl with a dark head full of hair, and boy was she chubby! It was an emotional experience. Such a beautiful, big, healthy baby girl. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unfortunately, I hemorrhaged, and lost a ton of blood. They had to give me a shot and a pill to slow down the bleeding. I lost a sixth of my body's blood and shivered uncontrollably for hours afterward. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's amazing to me the miracle that babies are when they arrive healthy and strong into the world. I was a little nervous after having Britta that something would be amiss with Raegan. But we are grateful all is well. Our other girls are smitten with her, and I was so nervous we'd have a rough go with Britta. But she is Raegan's biggest fan. Life is good. </span></div>

Though she doesn't walk, the girl can cruise confidently. Her physical therapist made her a set of parallel bars out of PVC pipes, and she can walk up and down them over and over again. She wants so badly to stand and walk. Her little feet are just too weak still to support her. But she's trying, and that's the important part. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since she doesn't walk, and doesn't have much hair (poor kid), she seems more like a baby then she really is, I think. She is old enough now to go to nursery at church, so Isaac has been taking her the past month. Even though she can't really defend herself in there and will get plowed by some of the bigger kids, we felt like it was important for her to go in on time since mentally she is just fine. It's important for her to socialize with kids her own age and try to figure it all out. But we aren't quite comfortable leaving her in there by herself yet. </span><br />

When she wakes up in the mornings, Britta will immediately say, "Pay?" She wants to know where Paige is. And if Isaac leaves the room she will immediately inquire, "Dada?" She wants to know where everyone goes and what they're doing. She doesn't say Marin very often and it makes Marin sad. Marin is super motherly to her and always wants to carry her around and help her. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="line-height: 1.4;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our favorite thing we like to do with Britta lately is let her ride her little bike. She has this cute little red ladybug bike that we bought for Marin (and Marin and Paige both hardly ever used) when she was Britta's age, that she can cruise around in like nobody's business. It's almost like it's her little wheelchair. She can maneuver the thing really well, but if she ever gets stuck she'll screech, "STUUUUUUH!" She wheels that thing all around the kitchen and all over the downstairs and loooooves it. She will often go so fast that she works up a sweat riding it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She tries to say almost everything, but it's generally just the first syllable or consonant of any word that comes out, though her vocabulary is expanding pretty good and she's getting slightly more understandable. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Britta loves to laugh and be goofy with her sisters. But if she's tired or not in the mood, she likes to belt out a good screech and push away people who get too into her zone. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She's also super territorial and if anyone besides her climbs into my lap, she gets jealous and tries to push them out. So this next month with a new little sister on the way should be an interesting one. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The poor girl has had a chronic runny nose for nearly a year now. We've taken her to specialists and tried numerous things, but to no avail. Allergies and enlarged adenoids are suspect, but allergy meds don't seem to do a thing. So every time we go outside (which is her favorite place), her eyes immediately water and her nose grows increasingly runnier. Hopefully we'll be able to figure out the culprit one day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We sure love this little girl! </span><br />

It was such an exciting moment! I was actually recording her on my phone, trying to get her to make animal noises for the camera, and instead she started crawling. I thought for sure my eyes were playing tricks on me. She did it again later that day while Isaac was watching and we were all pretty excited.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The week after her birthday, her physical therapist and another lady from the Birth to 3 program came to do a six month evaluation. They wanted to see if we had reached our goal we had set six months ago, when Britta first started the program and then to set new goals for the next six months. It was amazing to me to see how minimal our goals were-- we just wanted her to sit up and to be able to have some hand movement. Man, did little Britta blow those goals out of the water! It makes me feel kind of sad that our goals were so small. But we honestly weren't even sure if she ever would sit up or roll over or be able to pick up things. Those things seemed so lofty and out of reach. But our sweet little Britta has come so far and made so much progress. My eyes teared up as we talked about how far she'd come. It really is a miracle. Truly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The sweet girl loves her newfound freedom. She crawls everywhere, though she's still pretty slow at it. Her favorite place to go is to the bottom of the stairs, where she'll get up on her knees (another tremendous feat) and just try her little heart out to push herself up to the top step. Sometimes she'll get tired and rest her cute little head on the step while she gears up to try again. She's a long way away from being able to climb stairs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is hard to believe she's already one! We can't wait to see how far she comes in the next year. I think she's going to wow us all. At least I have faith that she will. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She loves reading books lately. Sometimes she'll sit on the ground and flip through pages of books all by herself. She especially loves the touch and feel books and picture books that have a lot of objects on the same page (like her colors book). </span></div>

She just experienced her first Thanksgiving-- where she devoured sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes with gravy, and was smothered with love from all her Reeve family in Portland. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At the beginning of the month we took her to Seattle Children's for a one-year old appointment of sorts. It was a follow-up with a specialist (Dr. Al-Mateen, a muscular neurologist) we saw back in March. He was impressed by how much she can do given the weakness of her muscles and how loose her ligaments are. He brought in another specialist to take a look at her. More tests were ordered and more blood drawn-- there probably won't ever be a diagnosis, at least not one with any sort of treatment, but for now we are hopeful as we watch her get stronger and do more things every month. She's quite a miraculous little thing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She is such a good little girl. She's getting a little stronger and is trying to stand on her knees now. Still no crawling. That's about the only update, if that's even an update. She's starting to say more words and it's been fun to hear her try to interact with us-- even though the latest interaction is an ear-piercing squawk when she wants something or is trying to get our attention. It reminds me of what a pterodactyl must sound like. </span><br />

The biggest thing is that she can stand up! Before you get too excited, she can't stand up on her own and she can't yet pull herself up. But if we stand her up against something, she can stand. And this is huge! She also likes to clap. All the time. It's like she just discovered her hands move at will and she's enjoying it. It's the daintiest little flappy clap. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We were in California on vacation a few weeks ago and spent the day at Disneyland on her 10 month birthday. She was not feeling 100% (horribly runny nose, watery red eyes) and it was not exactly a fun day for her, but she was a trooper and hardly cried until she was so exhausted she finally passed out for a short nap in the stroller. She loved the beach though, but was a bit frustrated when I wouldn't let her eat the sand. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">-She now has four teeth. She has that one that popped up last month, and then the top two came down. This week the second bottom tooth arrived! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">-Her little personality is blossoming -- for some reason I feel like it took a while for this to start happening. We view her as such a <i>baby</i> baby, but when Marin was this age she was walking and talking. I'm not saying that to compare my kids, but I think because physically she does less, we sometimes forget that mentally she's so much more capable than what we've been challenging her with. So we've been trying to be better with that. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">-She laughs and giggles more freely (and it also can take a lot of work to get a legit smile sometimes), but she loves interacting with her sisters and watches them with wide eyes and laughs whenever they come close to play with her. She gets shy when strangers approach us and will bury her head into my shoulder-- it's kinda cute. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">-She likes to wave hello and good bye and sometimes when I glance over at her she's waving at me. Last week we started saying, "Who's so big?" and then throw our arms up high in the air and say, "Britta's so big!" And she'll throw her arms up in the air too (or at least try... they don't always go higher than above her shoulders). It was an effort to try to get her to raise her arms straight up-- which she struggles with because her arm strength is pretty low. But she tries, and it is really darling. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">-She sees the physical therapist, Darlene, about every other week. Every time she comes she comments that she can see improvement in Britta. She's either gotten visibly stronger or has strengthened a new skill (like trunk rotating and balancing her core). It's encouraging to hear this-- especially after picking Britta up a few weeks ago, she indicated Britta was the lowest toned baby she currently works with-- an observation she made when she realized it was still like picking up a newborn when you try to pick up Britta under her arms. </span><br />

Yesterday her first tooth FINALLY popped through on the bottom! Finally. I was beginning to wonder if something was wrong with her teeth! She also waived at me for the first time this past week. And she also started giving high fives! We are on a roll with this little ball of chub! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I came into the kitchen one day last week, where Britta was sitting in her high chair, and I waved at her and she gave me a huge smile and waved back-- with those weak, floppy hands of hers. Her cute little hands just flopped back and forth in a clear effort to wave at me. I'd been trying to work on this with her for a while, always making her hand wave at other people to say hello or goodbye. So when she did it on her own, I cheered for her so loudly, I probably scared her. Every time she can do something new with those little hands of hers, I am amazed. And so, so happy.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Her physical therapist sees improvement every week, which makes me so happy, and thinks she'll be "commando crawling" really soon by the way she's been positioning herself when she tries to reach for things. Though she's still about as flexible (aka floppy) as they come, she is gaining more muscle control. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Britta loooooves her sisters so much and lights up when they come near her to play or give her hugs or kisses. She babbles to them all the time and giggles whenever they're around. Sometimes, when I am feeding her in her rocking chair, she'll arch back to look at the door, I'm pretty sure she's hoping to catch a glimpse of them or hope that they'll come into her room. </span></span><br />
