Here her first time on the swing with Leanna and Clare (she will be swinging herself in no time!). It was also Mara's first play date with Maddie (who has grown like a weed since I last saw her!). It's shocking to see how well kids communicate without any words.
Mara's appetite is subsiding (a bit) but not her love to go out to restaurants to eat. She interacts with everyone, clearly enjoys being outside and listening to music. Sunday we had dinner at Dio Deca (where she ate squid?) and then walked through downtown Los Gatos. This is where she added "moon" to her repertoire, giggling each time she said and pointed to it.
Another new favorite for Mara - PIZZA! Both saying the word, eating and playing with her pizza puzzle. Here at Pizza Antiqua and her visit with Maia on Monday night. Afterwards we walked through the mall where she said "hi" to everyone. She also let us sit down for a glass of wine - a perfect summer evening!
Another first - Mara taking her own bath!! Screaming is gone - she splashed and sung for almost an hour!!
Thankfully Mara is also making progress on potty training. She is also a healthy sleeper - long naps in the afternoon and 9+ hour sleep at night. I guess it's exhausting to catch up being a healthy 4 year old!!
Her bloodwork came back and everything has checked out okay. She is vitamin D deficient (no surprise) so the doctor prescribed a supplement, along with over the counter omega-3. Aside from this, the doctor says she couldn't be happier with the results! We are investigating physical therapy and also looking into local programs to help her along her development cycle. But even without it, this little girl is certainly catching up for no time!
