2-19

Here are Quinn and Jed playing with a balloon working on hand and arm control. Quinn sure does show off for him!
Here she is playing the drum with Diane and Stacie, look at Elijah dancing in the background. He helps her at therapy too! /Here she is after a trip to the museum.
Here is Quinn at the grocery store with Chrissy, look at that wrap around her waist helping her hold herself up.



We have had another busy week. On most fridays Jen and Jed come to our house and work with Quinn on standing and other physical therapy skills. This last friday Jill and Catalina joined them and we had a happy house full. Quinn loves Jed and works so hard for him.

She has also been working hard for Virginia and is finally walking again. Look at her go.

She has been painting at Handprints and Footsteps with Diane. She is doing better using her arms and hands to do purposful movements. That is a blessing.

Virginia, Grandma Martha, Elijah and Quinn went to the Children's Museum today and that was fun for them.

Quinn is doing better talking and has talked to a few new people this week, even answering a few questions with the correct answer! That is so wonderful. Things that some folks take for granted are total miracles for us. I think it's a good life living as if everything was a miracle. I know I've heard that quote before but don't remember who it was from.

Quinn keeps me so grounded and humble and I appreciate that so much! We have a busy weekend planned with Grandma and Grandpa Nelson. So we should have some exciting events to share next week!

Blessings
Here are Quinn and Diane, watch the end where she starts painting on her own!
