Victoria discovered the trampoline at Grammy and Grandpop's house. She asked almost constantly for someone to take her to jump. When we got home, she continued to ask. Josh and I felt so bad that we had to tell her no, that we bought a trampoline for her. She loves it and now begs at all hours to jump.
Victoria and I went shopping the other day. I helped her get dressed so that we could go. We then had to find the right pair of shoes to go with her outfit. I asked her if she was ready and she ran to her room and pointed at her dresser, asking for her "neckie" (necklace). Once she had that, she said she was ready. We went out to show Daddy her pretty outfit and I told her we could go as soon as I found my purse. I got it and told her that Mommy was ready to go. She took off down the hall, shouting "My purse, my purse!" Once we found her purse, she was ready to go shopping. I had to get a photo of her once she had everything she needed.
Victoria is big enough now to be trusted to hold her own cup while we drive. She loves this and has learned that she has to leave the straw in the cup in order to be able to drink out of it. Mommy loves this too, as it means less turning around and more freedom for Victoria.
Other than the trampoline, Victoria loved the "Neigh Neigh" at Grammy and Grandpop's house. She fed the horse an apple two or three times a day while we were there. She still asks us repeatedly "Apple, Neigh Neigh?" We have to tell her each time that we don't have a Neigh Neigh. She always looks sad. This is one reason we gave in and got her the trampoline. At least we don't have to tell her no to everything she loved at Grammy and Grandpop's.
Jacob and Victoria played together quite a bit while we were in Oregon. Their favorite toys were Victoria's toy cars. They scooted all over the floor together after those cars.
Meow-Meow went with us to Oregon and he spent some time riding on Victoria's lap. She thought it was fun, until the kitty wouldn't move when she was done.
Sorry that it has taken so long to add these photos. Life has just been crazy! To update everyone, we have been back to Dr. Esplin in Pocatello and he requested that Victoria get an MRI of her arms so that he can know exactly what we are dealing with in regards to muscle, cartilage and scar tissue. He said that in many cases, it is scar tissue in the elbows that keeps them from bending. The MRI will tell him if she has enough cartilage in her eblows for them to bend without pain and how much scar tissue is there. If everything looks good, he thinks we will be able to do a surgery to help her bend her elbows. She did well through the MRI Friday and hopefully we will have a plan of attack after our appointment next week.
