This morning I received an email from Hailey's PT (physical therapist) reguarding her OT (occupational therapy) evaluation a couple weeks ago.
She said Hailey, given her adjusted age is preforming where she needs to be from a fine motor perspective. She did find some issues with some of the sensory areas, but we cannot qualify for OT therapy unless it is impacting her progress. Jen thinks it is impeding her progress/participation in PT. So it sounds like OT will consult with Jen to add some of those sensory activities into her PT treatment. So the good news is we are pretty much on track. She just needs a little extra support with the sensitivity to movement we are seeing.
So all in all I think that is good news ...
Now see my post from below about Hailey's PT appt yesterday and you can see a picture of her walking on the lite gait!
Next week is Hailey's 15 month appt and shots, yuck. I think I forgot to mention that when she was sick and was seen at the peds office she weighed in at a "big" 18lbs, 9oz. I am not sure of her length, but she is growing because her clothes aren't so long anymore.
She has started a picky phase, I never thought we would go through this because she LOVES food, but she has now started throwing it over the side of her highchair if she doesn't like it and it is food she has eaten before and loves. She also arches her head back against the highchair and pretends to scream. We are in trouble! She is so much fun though and I wouldn't trade these moments for anything!

Oh how I hate the picky phase! It is awful. What I notice is one week Liam will like something and the next week he wont touch it. And this may last a few weeks and then if I try it again sometimes he'll go back to eating it. (happening with cheese now - love-hate relationship). So if she goes off of something, just give it some time and try again later.
During the picky veggie phases I like to use the shell shaped pasta (very small ones) and then I dice some veggies really small and cook them with the sauce and they get hidden in the shells so Liam doesnt even notice them when he eats the pasta shell.
Always happy to share picky eater tips!
