So Rachel is now fast approaching 18 months, and doing great. She's still making good progress, and is officially sitting independently. She can sit for up to 45 minutes now!!!

 

She is now 19lbs 3 oz, and 77.5 cms long. That puts her on the 3rd percentile for weight, and between the 10th and the 50th for height. We haven't done a head measurement in a while, so I'm not sure about that one, and I think I'm glad. We know that her head is not on the growth charts, but we also know that she is doing way better than the evidence would suggest.

 

We've had a lot of appointments recently, hydrotherapy, physiotherapy and occupational therapy, pediatrician, dietician, ENT. We are seeing the neurologist at the end of the month for an EEG, which will tell us something about the seizure like episodes she is having. I dread that one!

 

Rachel loves the water, so hydro is always fun. She's doing really well there now, really relaxed in the water. She used to be stiff as a board, but now she goes nuts splashing and having fun. We are back to our monday morning group in a few weeks, and she will get more regular hydrotherapy there.

 

Physical improvements have been steady over the last few weeks & months. Rachel is really comfortable sitting now, and can sit for a long time. She does fall over a bit still, but it's usually when she gets pushed by Ben, or wants to get at something outside her grasp. We are working on going from lying to sitting, and also sitting to standing. She is getting pretty good at both, but of course still with help. We are also working on transferring weight from one foot to the other, something she has to learn if she is ever to take steps.

 

Rachel's left hand has been in a soft neoprene splint for 3 months now, and although we have seen good progress and improvements, it's still nowhere near a functioning hand. We were back with the Pediatrician about this last week, and she agrees that the next course of action is a solid splint for 12 hours at night for the next 3 months. Then, we will revisit the Botox option, probably for the lower arm.

 

We saw our ENT back in July, and he agreed that a hearing aid could be beneficial. We are waiting for an appointment to check for any new loss in her right ear, and then we will hopefully go ahead with this. I'm excited, as I think it might really help with Rachel's speech delays.

 

The dietician has made us cut out the lunch time bottle, so she's now just on one in the morning after breakfast, and one before bed. So far, it hasn't been going that well, as Rachel still doesn't like to eat lumpy foods, and won't bring food to her mouth, so feeding has been pretty stressful. We will look again at her diet plan in a few months.

 

So here she is on her scooter. She can sit on it for a while without falling, but she hasn't got the concept of scooting yet. We are also practising sitting on the edge of a box, feet on the floor. The goal is to be able to sit on a bench unsupported by age 2. This is a big predictor of future walking. Fingers crossed!

I love this because it is painted on the window of a Chinese Fast Food Restaurant. In fact you cannot get fries or anything on a bun here. They do have soda. I am not sure if I am missing the idea of the sign or it is just left over from a different restaurant in this building

cada animal tiene formas y cualidades que si las detallamos son realmente cautivantes.

no dejemos que la ignorancia y la falta de observacion nos lleven a pensar y a actuar de una forma primaria.

cuando alguien desaforadamente aplasta a un insecto no es consiente de TODO lo que aplasta (solo es un llamado a que lean y estudien a los animales antes de reaccionar sin pensar, se daran cuenta que cada insecto es fascinante)

Joker gropes for the gun, but with lightning fast relexes, Indy pulls out his whip and uses it to "discourage " Joker from grabbing it until the Batman can secure it.

 

Indy:Thanks for the help, Batman!

 

Batman: I'm only happy I could get here in time to stop him, Dr. Jones! I've been an admirer for a long time - a world without Indiana Jones is quite unthinkable!

 

Batman then handcuffs the Joker and turns to begin the long trek back to where the Batplane is parked. ...

My fast decal

On 22 August 2018, I had the most memorable time, for my birthday earlier in the year, my wonderful children and their families bought for me a Big Cat Photo experience at Longleat. It consisted of a 2-hour ride in a Land Rover with a very knowledgeable guide, there were two other participants, we were taken into the enclosures where the big cats live and our guide took us off-road and into the best positions to get brilliant photographs. Throughout the experience I tried to balance the desire to take pictures with just watching these magnificent creatures doing what they do best. Even so, I took nearly 300 images, from this I reduced the number that I would process and keep to 35 and of those I have uploaded 9 shots. It was so difficult to choose which ones to upload.

 

I thought that I would show firstly, the undisputed fast cat, the Cheetah (Acinonyx Jubatus). just look at that lithesome body, those powerful limbs that can carry the animal at speeds up to 103 kph (64 mph) over short distances. Can you be anything but impressed with such a creature?

Love the light streak from the ship in the water!

    

I like this image due to the facts 1. It's a Subaru 2. its a fast Subaru 3. It almost seems like an actual Subaru Ad, and 4. the minor edits I had to do in the end. I feel like when you have to do less edits, it's a better picture. Although, there's some of the car lost due to shadows, the overall lighting and temp of the car adds to the slogan, "Love". Also, the reflection on of the 2019 Subaru WRX STi adds to the effect of it seeming brand new and advertisement worthy. I am glad I had the ability to make work with this vehicle in the photography world.

Pararescuemen from the 58th Rescue Squadron out of Nellis AFB, fast rope out of a HH-60 Pavehawk as they reach the simulated crash site, at Ft. Huachuca, during a mass casualty scenario as part of exercise Angel Thunder. The Mass casualty scenario involved two CH-47 Chinooks crashing. Pararescuemen from the 48th and 58th Rescue Squadrons were flown in on HH-60 Pavehawks by the 66th and 305th Rescue squadrons, while A-10 Thunderbolt II's from the 358th Fighter Squadron provided security around the area. Once on the ground, the Pararescuemen asessed the scene, provided quick triage to survivors, relocated the survivors to the casualty collection point, where the survivors were then loaded onto a HC-130, 79th Rescue Squadron, and transported to Davis-Monthan AFB-simulating a level 2/3 medical facility.
