So Far So Good











We are halfway through July already and so far have had a great month! We are finally all settled in our new place here in Cali and lovin it! We got all of our stuff from Oregon moved down so it finally feels like home here!
Huber got a few weeks off unexpectadly so we took a fast mini vacation back up to Oregon to spend the 4th of July with my Mom and got to see some family and friends while we were there. I just wasnt ready to give up our tradition of the 4th spent on the beach. It of course was freezing cold, being Brookings so we had to bail out early but still fun. It was nice to get out of the heat and into the cold for a couple days!
Hubercito continues to do well. We had our first Dr visit last week. He is just under 20lbs and got a clean bill of health after his physical. We didnt get to see the actual Dr we will be going to see from now on but we are going back this Wed to meet with her. She deals with a lot of Cerebral Palsy babies and has a lot of advice for me on transitioning him from babyhood to toddlerhood. Such as his diet and getting him in to see all the specialists he needs to see.
Our Occupational therapist was nice enough to take a few days out of her summer vacation to work with Huber so we continue working with the walker and learned that we can get some good stretches and excersises out of him on one of those big excersise balls without a lot of protest from him. He is moving around non stop all day, not content to be held like before. And jabbering away non stop! He is definatly more aware of his surroundings and knows what he wants and tries his hardest to get or do it. I worked with him last night on rolling from his back to his stomach and then moving his arms out in front of him and pushing himself up and after showing him only one time he just about had it, only needing a lil help from mommy. But when doing things like that with him you can see the understanding and determination he has. It is very exciting to see!
