Oh the first rolls are just the most divine thing

It reminds me when we caught up with our mothers group one week, all th eother babies had lots of gorgeous rolls. Nakita had started to get a crease (the beginnings of a roll) on her thigh, I was soo darned excited, I think the other girls thought I was a bit nutty

But I think it was really just a lack on understanding...

To hold and cuddle your child for months on end, feeling and knowing there are so skinny, their bottom not being round and plump, but a series of creases of skin. When they raise their eye brows there are rolls of skin, with features similar to a very old frail person. To see a baby fill out, the bones dissappearing and the facial features rounding out, it just a beautiful moment and should be treasured. It begins to lift those fears and the feelings of failure, finally I am doing something right (even though all along your have been, but you finally get to see the rewards)

Nakita is doing well, she has started puling up on furniture and has the desire to want to walk, she really wants to run, but still has a lot of work on her stabilizing muscles and core before she will be a stable walker. I estimate sometime in the new year, unlikely between now and Christmas. She is taking some steps holding on with one hand, but has a very wide stance and is quite unstable and doesn't seem to be able to maintain and centre of balance. But it will all come in time, we are just over the moon with her developments since starting physio 5 months ago

I am just so hapy for you, that the Pedi is making a difference, I can't wait to see how big she is by her Paed's appointment!

Take care and warm hugs
