Yaaay, Josie!

Josie graduated from Birth to Three (Connecticut's Early Intervention-type program) yesterday! Her physical therapist has no more concerns about her development, she's built up lots of strength in her core muscles, and she's meeting all of her gross motor and physical milestones right on target. She's cruising easily, walking while holding hands, and standing on her own! Pretty impressive for only six months of physical therapy and a baby who wasn't even bearing weight on her arms when on her tummy at 7 months.

To celebrate, last night I made Josie's favorite dinner (risotto and swiss chard) and maple cupcakes for dessert. (Thank you again, Abby and Sara, for the Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World cookbook! It's AMAZING!) The girls and I had the last couple of cupcakes for afternoon snack today, and I actually managed to take pictures. Nora picked out both of their outfits today - can you tell?! :)
