Talking, sleep and starting to run

A couple of weekends ago Uncle Mike was at the house and Megan tried very hard to say his name.  She said "m, m, m, mi, mi, mi" very excitedly.  It was a wonderful moment because she was trying to talk.  Well, since then she has really taken off.  She said "dada", "up", "on", "ip (ipad)" and "hat".  Every single one of those words were thrilling to hear, but hat was by far the best because she had never made an "h" sound before.

All of this talking started after she got 4 uninterrupted nights of sleep in a row, followed by every other night for a couple of days.  We have been doing everything we can to help her sleep and this just proves how very important it is for her development.  She has started on a new medication that will hopefully help her to sleep through the night so that her internal clock can reset.  It worked the first night, but did not work last night.

Megan got new orthotics last week.  These are actually the same ones she had previously, just bigger.  She is doing amazing with them. Her gait has narrowed and she is so much more stable.  She has started really moving and is almost at a run a lot of the time.
