Taylor's Big Red Fire Museum

We recently went to a Fire Museum in Louisville, MS that we absolutely loved!!!  They had some truly neat and rare antique fire trucks.  And lots of model airplanes and machines.  It was amazing.  The man who gave us a tour was also quite friendly and knowledgeable, and he made it very fun for Enoch. 

 Enoch got to sit on a few trucks and pretend to be a fire fighter!

 And to ring the bell

Enoch & Karis w/ Sparky the fire dog

We so enjoyed our visit!  Here are a few videos: 

One of the trucks still had a working siren, which Enoch got to wind (He still talks about this!)



And this was a truck similar to a Barnum & Bailey truck that still sang.

Karis' Gross Motor Developments (2 yrs)

Over the past few months, Karis has really taken off in her gross motor development!  She is one busy girl now, with lots to do all the time.  (maybe that's why I have had no time to blog....  ;)

Here are a few videos of her progress. 

This first one is when we first started working with her on walking with a walker.  Her PT is behind her, and Hugh is cheering her on.



This one is of her walking in her new walker that we bought w/ our PT's advice.  She does so well in it now that if she has enough space she can even run in it!  We took it to our large church gathering last week, and she had so much fun being mobile and roaming around visiting with people.



 And this video is of her getting in and out of the little rocking chair in our family room.  She is so proud of herself and really enjoys mastering skills like this (as you can see in the video)!  She does still need me to steady the chair for her so it doesn't tip over, but not for too much longer.  :)


We are still working on a legit crawl though.  She still has a hard time with activities that use her core or her arms.  But we've seen some small steps with that as well.
