We are finally home from the Tay-Sachs family conference. It was sorta bittersweet - I have a ton to say about it, but Im feeling a little ugg tonight and I think I need to reflect and re-group before tackling that one. Overall it was great to catch up with old and new friends and see the beautiful babies and children. Of course - one of my favorite things is the addition of Soulumination to the conference. This year 14 affected children and their families were photographed - simply amazing. The bad thing is that a dear friend Sarah let me try out some stellar lenses - and now..... I want them all - lol Avery did incredible!! She did great on both flights - actually slept the whole way home today (it was only a 1 hour flight) She was definitely a hit at the conference. She is starting to do so many new things which is . . . simply put . . . AMAZING! The normalcy is so wonderful. She is reaching up and out to be picked up. During the conference - she would let people hold her - but only if she could not see me - if she could she was practically diving from their arms to get to her mommy - (which is fine with me!) She is protesting if you take something away that she wants and boy she gets fired up if she cant get her way - it's wonderful!!! She is sitting for much longer and keeping her balance pretty well - she still has the sideways fall over's and occasionally the backward head bangs- but, definitely doing it longer (as you can see from the picture) Now that she is starting to sit - mommy has so many picture ideas - watch out Avery. A special thanks to Amy and Bryce (and you too, Ben) for helping me out during my sessions by watching her - you rock!
