Birth to 3

Today we did the paperwork for qualification for birth to 3 and her IFSP meeting. Jillian currently qualifies for services because of atypical development because of the feeding tube.
When I first met with her service coordinator Jillian was not sitting, rolling, or making many sounds. Since our first meeting 2 weeks ago she has mastered sitting and is making more sounds. She has worked really hard in the past few weeks, and so have we. With all of her gains in skills she is not all that behind her peers and has made amazing growth quickly!
Jillian did a great job of showing off her skills today. She hung out on her belly, sat up, and even made a few new sounds! I am so proud of her. 
We decided that since she is so young, can only take 15ml of water or milk, is starting to make some sounds, and is having the tube moved and that will hopefully clear up her ears, that we will start with speech seeing her once a month. They are going to see her for the first time at the start of next month (after her surgery) and they are looking at meeting at daycare since that is where she spends a lot of time during the school year.
We talk about some different strategies to help Jillian's development and most of them we are already doing at home. That is one of the advantages of having the same degree as a person who would be a service coordinator. At the same point it is a little strange to be having someone provide services for Jillian that I am qualified to do. But I think part of the reason we are not having them meet with Jillian more is because I am trained in early childhood development and I just do some of the things with her without realizing it.
Tonight she is sleepy. She is a supper happy girl for someone who got up at 7 and has only napped for around an hour total
today and that was in 3 separate naps!
She made a mess out of her bottle tonight but she drank it. She is now trying to fall asleep on my chest but keeps throwing herself in reflux pains. I can hear the sounds of her tummy and gulping. She has to work a lot harder when she is sleepy to keep food in. It is kind of a viscous circle because eating wears her out but then she cant sleep because it hurts. Oh the conundrums of Jillian!
