2.24.12 Improvements

We have been noticing a lot of improvement in Alyssa the past month. She continues to talk more and more. She is a real chatter box and we are always amazed with what comes out of her mouth. It is so neat to see what what words she knows and that she uses them in the correct context. Her bus driver calls her a mimic and commented on how clearly she is speaking. The past few days she has been talking to EVERYONE we see.

We were so happy to see that she truly jumped for the first time. Knees bent, push off, both feet off the ground at the same time, knees bent landing. She has been running and jumping all the time. I have started calling her my little Jumpin' Jellybean!

Her endurance is increasing. We have been taking walks around the neighborhood and she has been running our route, which is about 1/4 mile. and then some. It is so encouraging. She has also been walking up the stairs almost all the time alternating feet without us reminding her.
