To all friends and family:
This blog is intended to keep all of you posted on information, updates, and thoughts from the Turner family as we work to bring Karsie into this world. To all who have been supportive through prayer, kind words, and hugs we both want to say "Thank you" from the bottom of our hearts. This has been and will continue to be a very trying time for us and every act of love from you has given us inspiration and strength.
-Kevin, Michelle, & Karsie-
We have given Karsie an email account so when she is older she can read all of the support that was sent her way during this time. Feel free to write a note to her or a prayer for her. Write to her at karsiegene@gmail.com.
I meant to get this up last week... but Karsie has taken to scooting all over the place. In this situation... she had been playing in her gym for a few minutes... with her feet towards the kickboard (bottom) and her head at the mirror (top)... I went to grab her pears... and while I was in the kitchen, I saw her scooting around a bit... but then I came in and she was whining because she couldn't scoot any farther because she had run into the couch. I couldn't stop laughing. I have yet to catch the scooting on video... but I am trying!
The other big development is that Karsie has learned how to tolerate tummy time... she simply turns her head to the side and rests. This means that she is able to stay on her tummy for longer... but she isn't developing her arm muscles as well. We are encouraging her to go up on her arms... but we have a stubborn one who likes to fight us on this! We figure she will get there... she just likes to move at her own pace.
