Six months old!

Well, our little girl is officially six months old! She's come a long way baby! We celebrated the occasion by playing peek-a-boo with the couch cover. Or she was going to sneak under the couch - she wouldn't tell me which.

Myla's occupational/physical therapist came to see her today too. She was so amazed by the strength that she has in her neck and upper body. She said she was looking really good and that we have done good so far. She wasn't concerned with Myla favoring the right side of her head because she has really good range of motion. In other words, she can move her head from her shoulder on the right side all the way to her shoulder on her left side. She gave us a few things that we can do to continue to strengthen the muscles, but all in all, she thought that she looked really good for a 3 month old (adjusted) baby. Myla also had another overnight oxygen test on Tuesday. Crazy little bug - they had the alarm set way low so I never heard it go off and when I got up in the morning, there she was SIDEWAYS in her crib. Needless to say the monitor was not on her foot. Hopefully they got a good enough reading and will give us the results on Monday.

Dad had his six month review with his boss yesterday and he is doing so good that they gave him a $1000 a year raise! Yeah Johnny! He said he was doing really well and he was very happy with his decision to give Johnny the job. And we are very happy that he has it too!

Mom/whatever Myla chooses to call me!

I just looked at the third miricle I have seen in my life and this one is even better than the first two because she has had farther to go to get wher she is at. You tell her Uncle Jerry is popping his buttons over his little grand niece.
Lovr to all
