Christina had a birthday party on Saturday the 26th. She did wonderful with all the company. Christina enjoyed opening her presents and listening to her sound cards. She has gotten very good at grabbing the wrapping paper and pulling. She did not even eat any.

It was a wonderful party with a good turn out of guests. Thank you everyone for coming. We had cake and ice cream and good conversation. There are quite a few pictures and I will get some up as soon as I can.

Christina was very talkative the whole weekend. Her letters and words are getting more pronounced. She enjoys our 'studying' with the alphabet.

Sunday we kept it pretty mellow. Christina is still a little under the weather and the doctor appointment is creeping up fast. I also wanted to be sure Christina wasn't overwhelmed from Saturday. It is cute to watch her try to decide what she wants to play with.

I have to add that each time Christina gets in the gait trainer she does a little better. She gets so frustrated when her body doesn't do what she wants. With encouragement, a little bribery, and her determination she does overcome and finishes.
