On her due date, July 9th, Adeline started taking steps on her own! I have yet to get a good video of her doing it, but here are some pictures of her in action!
We are so proud of her. We had a followup appointment at the Developmental Assessment Clinic last week, and she amazed all of the therapist, the nurse, and the doctor with her skills. She caught up on height and weight several months ago, but now she has exceeded even her actual age in gross motor, fine motor, and speaking skills.
She is 75th percentile for weight and 95th percentile for height (she certainly doesnt get this from me!). She also tested equivalent to a 20-month-old in fine motor skills, a 15-month-old in speaking and communication skills, and a 14-month-old in gross motor skills. She officially graduated from Developmental Clinic, an entire year ahead of schedule!
She amazes us more and more every day. One quick story that I want to remember was when they were testing her fine motor skills. They demonstrated a task of stacking 4 small blocks. During the demonstration, they stacked the blocks while counting, "One, two, three, four". They knocked down the tower and placed one block, asking Adeline to complete the task. She placed a second block on top of the first, while saying "Two!". We were all totally shocked!! The therapist asked if she could count already, and my only reply was ".... I guess so!"
Chelsea and Cooper also came to visit a couple weekends ago. We were so busy chasing two babies that we didnt really take any pictures, but here are a couple pictures of them causing trouble in the kitchen
