more pool pics and a late birthday gift

Here are some more pool pictures from Friday! They did "ring around the rosies" in the pool and practiced their "kicks". These therapists are great about "tricking" them into doing therapy. Lillie thinks she is just playing and doesn't realize she is doing therapy! :-)

this was Lillie doing her "snow angels" in the water. this is a big exercise they do on land and in water to keep their hips good and strong to keep it from coming out during lengthening.

She is really doing great with her therapy but it is getting difficult because we are really starting to push knee bends right now and that is super painful for her. Because it hurts to bad, she fights us doing the bends and its so hard to get her to understand why we need to do it even though it hurts so bad. The therapist said that sometimes this is what keeps the little ones from getting as much length b/c they fight the bends so much. So you can pray that some how Lillie will understand in her little mind how important this is and that we will be able to continue to get good bends.

On Saturday Lillie and I went down to the harbor b/c it was so pretty here. The harbor is beautiful and is one of my favorite things about Baltimore. Lillie loved getting out and seeing the boats.

My Dad and step mom got Lillie a guitar for her birthday. We had it saved until we got up here and Lillie opened it yesterday. She was SO excited! She immediately got it out and started "playing" Jesus loves me. (I'm gong to try and figure out how to post a video later). She has been playing it non stop, I am sure my neighbors are loving it! :-)
