Sam was re-tested yesterday at therapy since she had her birthday. When we started OT/PT six months ago, Sam tested at a -4 (which is really delayed). Yesterday she tested at a -1. Which is awesome! She wouldn't even qualify for state benefits at this point, if she wasn't already in until she turns three. She used to be about 50% of her age, developmentally. At six months she was like a three month old, etc. This time she "should" have tested at around six months old, but she didn't... She tested at nine months. Which means she's only 25% delayed! (You can celebrate the strangest things...) She's catching up, and I don't think that anyone just looking at her would guess that something is wrong. It helps that she is little and looks like she's nine months old... She still has some big appointments coming up, but we are so happy right now. It's an amazing thing to hear her laugh, to watch her do things that we've been practicing for months and now she can finally do on her own. It's amazing what you can learn from a one year old...

Oh April, I am so happy to hear that!! I cannot wait to meet that sweet little angel when I am in Bothell! The Lord answers prayers, if anyone has any doubts that He does, all they have to do is look at Sam, and know that HE does answer prayers! I love you!
Yay for Sam! That's really impressive that she's gotten so far so quickly!!!
P.S. Ben and I think that Skyler and Sam look even more alike than Lily and Sam..... interesting.... it's almost as if they're related or something...... :)
We're thrilled Sam is doing so well! It says a lot about how hard her parents (her mom, especially) must have been working to help her reach this point. Love and congratulations to all of you!
