The good news is I haven't had any significant changes since my last update! We've had some issues w/ my legs, but Mandi & Bob have adjusted their lifting technique so I haven't had to be set down on the floor since my last update. Once I'm up, they now have to help me move my feet to take steps about 1/2 the time, but the great news is we've been able to avoid the transfer sling!
I've had some subtle changes in my right hand and arm, but nothing that has caused me to limit what I have been able to do or change how I use my hand/arm.
Fatigue has been the only noticeable change. I nap almost every day because I get so tired. Apparently, it's normal because my muscles think the effort it takes them to go to the bathroom multiple times a day is the same as climbing Mt Everest! =)

KIDS:
For those of you in West Chandler/Ahwatukee, be on alert: Tana got her drivers license!! She is beyond excited! In addition, to fund her driving necessities (gas, insurance, etc.) she started her first job last weekend. We spent several evenings preparing for her first interview, but they only asked her one question, "When can you start?" So, she is now a hostess and buses tables at a restaurant near the house.

Joshua loves baby food! He's had peas, carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes and has loved them all! He also had a bite of Daddy's chocolate frosty that he really seemed to enjoy =) He's doing a great job holding his head up and loves sitting in his bumbo chair. He's also started rolling on to his side on his own, but needs help getting on his tummy and back.

Way to go Tana. Stay out of PA! (kidding - I'm sure you're a GREAT driver, much better than I was at 16, 17, 18, 19, 20...)

Thank you for posting - I love the photos and want to keep hearing about all of you guys.
