Standing Tall

Okay, so another long, dull spell on the Blog. But life in the Land of Noa has been anything but dull! Noa has been just soaring in over the past month. As you can see in this photo, she just plain let go of Jes altogether. She needs to hold on to stuff to balance, but is become more and more comfortable holding letting go of us and hold onto her bike or the back of the couch or whatever.
She has been talking up a storm, got a new big girl wheelchair - with a stander coming next week - she's out grown her walker and now needs a bigger one (she is growing like crazy).
We're also very glad to report that Noa will be able to continue on at Blythedale School next year! Because Blythedale is a rehab hospital school it's really designed for kids to be there for a short time (one or two years) as a part of their rehab -- but for a kid like Noa, what does rehab mean??? When will she be "rehab'ed?" In any case, she is doing so well there - loves her teachers, her therapists, the other kids, even the bus folks so we're thrilled she be there next year!
