Roller Coaster
Brinley’s life (and thus our lives) is very much a roller coaster. She might have a few days where she does all of her physical therapy very well, eats without pinching her lips and gagging, and is at the top of the roller coaster. Then there’s a few days where the roller coaster [...]
Standing Up and More Pictures
Brinley’s physical therapist brought over a stander this week so Brinley had her first experience with standing. At first she was a little scared, but really who wouldn’t be? They strap you onto this board and crank you up. Pretty intimidating. However, the scariest part for Brinley seemed to be putting shoes on. She cried [...]
Valentine’s Day
For Valentine’s Day Aaron and I usually just go out to eat and spend time together. Aaron is always the best at completely surprising me though and on Saturday night he told me he had to run by the church to finish up some work. Instead he showed up with these cute flowers,a [...]
Look Alike Contest
Brinley got her new glasses today!! After such a long fight with Standard Optical we finally got our money back. However, it took a dispute from American Express to get a refund. Her new glasses fit much better and don’t allow her to look over them quite so easily. I think she can make anything [...]
Spio Suit
A few months back Brinley’s physical therapist at Primary Children’s Hospital mentioned that she should try a compression vest to help with some of her sensory issues. It took a while to figure out what would be best for her but her early intervention p.t. hooked us up with a Spio suit for her. You [...]
What Soft Ears You Have
One of Brinley’s birthday gifts was a pink doggie neck pillow. It’s really cute and helps hold her head up but the best part is to watch Brinley become so mesmerized with the ears of the dog. Earlier this week I was cooking dinner and for a good half hour Brinley just watched me [...]
One Year Older and Wiser Too…
As you saw from the last post Brinley celebrated her very first birthday Sunday!! We had a party for her and Tracy at our house. Tracy’s birthday is the 8th so now she gets to share with Brinley. What a great Aunt! Brinley didn’t like all of the people and noise [...]
1 Year Old
My baby is turning one year old. What an eventful year it has been! Brinley’s got her own special little things she’s learned to do (like blowing spit bubbles) but for the most part she’s moving at her own pace. More than anything we’re just so glad we still have her with us. There have [...]
Brinley’s Christmas Gift
During Brinley’s physical therapy appointment at Primary Children’s Hospital earlier this month the doctor told us that she appears to have a sensory integration disorder. This was after Brinley screamed when she touched her (although if doctors were always poking and messing with me I would scream every time one came near too). One [...]
Christmas and New Years 2009
This year the most exciting part of our Christmas was having Aaron home for a week and a half from Christmas through New Years weekend. It has been so nice! I put a few pictures up from our festivities. My family met Christmas Eve later in the evening so Brinley was really [...]
