Well, McKinley and I have had a very exciting and eventful time this last little while. Every Tuesday and Thursday night Robbie has school, so McKinley and I hang out all alone! It was a little scary at first, given the fact that when school started there were a lot of her needs I couldn't meet, but the stroller can be used inside too, so we made it through the first little while. Now I'm doing much better and the two of us have figured it out and are doing great!
McKinley is getting bigger and more fun all the time. Just today she learned to do 2 new things and I was so excited. She has this adorable duck (I named him Steve) and he hangs from her little baby gym. Today she was hanging out there, making noises and staring at the toys as usual when suddenly she finally decided to try to reach for them! It was great, for a good 30 minutes she was trying to reach her toys and shove them in her mouth. She looked pretty coordinated for a beginner. After she was done with that, Robbie and I were playing with her on the floor when she just rolled over! I couldn't believe my eyes. We moved her back and she did it a couple of more times. I guess we'll see if she remembers how to do it tomorrow! I also am charging the battery in my camera so I can actually get a picture!
As for me, lots and lots of progress. I'm allowed and able to do so many things now, I can shower standing up, I can blow dry my hair standing up, I can walk without a crutch (though I've been warned there may be a few falls as I learn to do it on my own again), I'm allowed to jog on the treadmill for a few minutes (ok, most might not call it a jog, but it's a jog for me), I'm allowed to drive, I can jump off of a stair and land standing up , I haven't fallen down in weeks and FINALLY after 4 months of waiting I actually carried McKinley-I can't carry her too far, because I get tired and my legs get weak, but I did it!
So, the Loomis girls are having fun and learning to do new things everyday! Let's just hope the progress keeps coming for both of us!

Awesome Lindsay. I'm so glad you are doing so well. We've been worried about you out here, thanks for giving us the update!
Oh, I am so happy for both of you! I have been wondering like crazy how you've been! Since Robbie's been gone, we don't get the update! Are you back to work or not yet?
Wow, I saw you what, two weeks ago and you are already doing so much mnore!! Congrats and keep up the hard work. It was great to see you, Robbie, and McKinley -she is such a cutie!!
That is so great. I am really excited for you. I am sure it hasn't been easy not being able to do things for your little girl.
Hopefully we will see you guys on Sunday!
Great Update Cuz! Keep up the good progress; both of you!
Oh my goodness. You are such a trooper. I am glad to hear the good news!
Hey Lindsay, I found your cute blog from Leslie's blog friends. Your little girl is very cute! Apparently I'm out of the loop, but what's happening with you...did you get hurt? Hope all is well!
