September... goodbye summer, hello fall

With the arrival of September, kids are back in school, and vacations are over.  My summer was somewhat productive.  I got a grant proposal submitted in June (the study section to review it will meet in October).  We sold a house (still looking to buy one to move into, although we've made some progress... stay tuned).  Baby Bunny about doubled her signing vocabulary:

22.  Car
23.  Grandpa

Our PT pool group ended.  It was really fun to see Bun Bun interact with another little girl about the same age.  Even at church, she's been more social with the other kids.  She has been running up to other babies, giving them hugs, then knocking them over, and making them cry.  On other therapy notes, we have an annual review this week.  Bun Bun has gotten all sorts of tests to see where she is developmentally.  She scored about 21 months for cognitive skills (ability for mental processes that includes attention, memory, producing and understanding language, learning, reasoning, problem solving, and decision making) and about 18 months for gross motor skills (physical abilities such as walking, climbing, etc).  Being now 26 months old, cognitive abilities at 21 months meant her supplemental instruction (SI) therapy will be reduced to once per month.  It's bittersweet.  We won't see Miss Debbie every week, but GO BABY BUNNY, SMARTY PANTS! 

Go sleepies, Baby Bunny!
Baby Bunny inherited a toy that makes music.  Here, she's dancing to a Mickey Mouse tune.  She was swinging her hips, but I missed it!
