MONTHLY UPDATE




Well, it has been back to the grind for the Hoffman household for the last three weeks now. Bree has really gone with the flow. Some days she wakes up to me, some days to Doug and every once in awhile to her Mema. We made the transition into her own bedroom, which has gone well. Originally, she was going to share with Brooke, but since we have the space and it was crowding Brooke, we decided to change the original plans. We gave both Brynn and Brooke the option of moving to the spare bedroom (which has its own full bath as opposed to the jack and jill bath they share) but both opted to stay in their current rooms. We have a feeling Brynn may regret this decision when she becomes a teenager! Since doing this Bree now sleeps 12-14 hours! which we are enjoying as we know this will come to a crashing halt post-surgery.

We marvel every day at Bree's awesome personality. She really is a smart little girl and is picking up on her English very well. She repeats just about everything you say and has about 25-30 words unsolicited. We are setting up OT for her hands, which she uses very well, but still holds them in a flexed position. PT won't begin until after surgery and casting.

I think what we love the most though is that it already seems like Bree has been a part of our family since her birth...and its a feeling we pray she has as well.
