Today three people from Early On came over to evaluate Baby R. Apparently because she has Cystic Fibrosis she qualifies for their services. I am not sure what all they do, but I know that they will come over as often as needed to help children to "catch up" developmentally. I guess her health issues and the fact that she was in the NICU for a month made them concerned that she would be "behind" in developing. Naturally our family has always thought that she was very smart and excelling developmentally. But, of course, we are biased. So now for the good news... She is at the right mark or ahead in all areas! YEAH! I couldn't be happier! Some days I worry that being confined to my apartment for the past 4 months has caused me to lose my mind (and therefore the ability to be a good mom).
The women were so impressed with Baby R that they said they don't have anything to help her with. They said they will just check back every month or so and see if everything is still going wonderfully. What a way to pick up my spirits! So, despite my deficiencies as a mother, she is excelling! She was blessed to inherit the good qualities from both of our families. Yes, a husky voice and man-shoulders are good qualities! Anyways, today is just a good day and I can't help but be proud of my little baby girl who always exceeds expectations! Happy 5-month birthday Baby R!

YES...Happy Birthday Reagan. I have always thought you excelled at everything. Sure, daddy's genes are there, but tons from her mommy too - and the best care a baby could get.
You are a good mom. Though I probably shouldn't comment on whether you've lost your mind or not. ;-)
Congrats, Little R!
Stop calling yourself deficient! Of course Baby R is a genius partly by nature...but also much in thanks to you and Rick. I've seen you guys with her, and trust me...she could be a totally different baby with different parents. Give yourself a little credit. Yeaaa Brooks!!!!
What a great day of news! I can tell just by her pics that R is developing above and beyond expectations!
