Update on Miss B

This morning, Brooklyn met with a development specialist at Early Intervention through the Infant and Toddler Connection. It is a government-funded service for families of children who have diagnosed developmental delays in any area. Pretty cool deal.

At Early Intervention, they assessed Brooklyn's areas of achievement. She did very well in social and communication skills, cooing and smiling at everyone. However, she did struggle with her gross motor and fine motor skills (things like holding her head up steady, grabbing toys, reaching for things, etc). So, she will begin physical therapy.

The specialist is hopeful that with a little physical therapy, Brooklyn can catch up to speed, and we are too! We sure do love that sweet little girl.
