Today was a great day. In the morning I got a lot of schoolwork done while Brookie played. Then, at 1pm, we went to the mommy's group. There were a lot of babies there! Brookie was one of the older babies, the others were around five months old. Some of them were bigger than her! Its surprising how differently each child develops.
There was one girl there who brought her one year old daughter. Her daughter was the same size as Brooke! She told me that her daughter is labeled as "Failure to Thrive" and hasn't gained any weight since she was six months old. The mother seems to be doing everything right, they can't figure out why she doesn't grow. It's sad, I hope she starts to grow soon!
Also, today Brooke did two new things! First, she waved hello and goodbye at the moms at the playgroup! Then, she used a toy to pull herself up to a standing position and managed to stay standing for about five minutes! I couldn't believe it! It had to be the extra stimulation she was getting by being around so many other people. I can't wait for the next meeting!
Well, that's all that happened today. I'm off to do some homework. Only two more weeks left in the semester, yay!
Bye!
