Molly is doing well and making progress everyday. She is really entertaining us these days with her playful personality. She has enjoyed reading a particular book this week that asks you to do things like "turn your head", "shrug your shoulders", "pound your chest", etc. She wants to read it many times a day - too funny. We now have a video monitor and she was up there making a funny noise during her nap time and when I went over to see she was lifting up her shirt and "pounding on her chest" - adorable!
She is also very particular about the music I have on in the car. When she doesn't like the song she says No louder and louder until I change the song and when she likes the song she shouts "more" when the song is over. It is amazing how sure she is about what she does and does not like at such a young age.
She also has definitely decided that (for now) purple is her favorite color followed closely by blue and pink. I had no idea that a 20 month old could have a favorite color.
She has been making some good progress with her walking and tonight for the first time since the fracture she walked almost 30 feet (it took us about 15 minutes to get that far, but she was either walking or standing that whole time).
We also found a wonderful family in Michigan that donated a tiny little manual wheelchair to Molly. The mother has Type III OI (and stands 2' 10") and has twins (a boy and a girl) that both have OI. The kids are 9 and the daughter outgrew this chair quite a while ago. We received it a couple of days ago and we are now working on getting Molly to use it with some success. Here is a video of her using it on the first day CLICK HERE.
She is talking more and repeating words, which is promising. My new favorites that she says are "armadillo" and "everywhere". Here is a video of her talking CLICK HERE.
She is getting her infusion tomorrow and hopefully everything will go smoothly.
Here's a picture of Max, Amanda, and Molly outside. Molly has now sat on Amanda's lap a few times...
