Hello friends! Our little Hattie bear is almost ONE…and I’m kind of freaking out over here! We have been hitting some pretty major “inch stones” lately! Hattie started clapping! It is a very small clap, but she is definitely imitating us, and we couldn’t be more excited for that. She has also been improving with her head control, and overall control with her core muscles. She started slightly raising her head in February and now she can lift all the way up from her tummy and look around! I feel like she will be sitting before we know it.

Physical therapy and occupational therapy have continued to go well. We love our therapists Beth and Kelly! They are amazing with Hattie, and just amazing people in general. As Hattie gets older, we are navigating through options with insurance and home care to make sure she is able to get everything she needs. We still have so much to learn! Fortunately, the state of Colorado has some incredible resources for special needs families and for that, we are thankful.

I wanted to share something with y’all that I’ve recently fallen in love with. The Super Power Baby Project. We found out about this through one of our friends on our 1q4 Facebook support page. It is such an incredible point of view. Special needs are usually looked at as a ‘negative’ thing… a disability, failure to thrive, etc. This project takes everything about having special needs and turns it into something positive. I really think God puts these kids on Earth to bring joy and happiness to others and to put things in perspective for people. Go watch the video :)
