Baby Jireh!!! Race to taste!!!!

Photo: We've been a bit absent on here BUT just a quick update on Jireh: She's almost walking!she needs to be assisted and guided a little but shes almost got it...shes trying different tastes for foods and as she gets older, shes starting to like things she never use too e.g. fruity yogurts,sitting on her couch, holding babies...Next week she officially starts Play Center twice a week so we're excited that she'll be able to learn off other kids...She was so good during this movie so looks like we'll be going back :)Photo: We went to visit the wonderful children at kids on foot today who are doing x2 movie fundraisers for Jireh. They all learnt more about her needs & she absolutely loved her time there ( didn't want to leave :) we look forward to seeing them all tomorrow :)
Baby Jireh was born deaf.Last year they raised 50k for baby Jireh to get a cochler implant!!!! This year we are trying to raise 15k for Baby Jirehs rase to taste. So far they have raised 900o.6000 more then she will be able to eat instead of having to put a tube down her nose to go through to her stomach.Baby Jireh cannot see out of her left eye.Tomorrow we are doing a fundraiser for Baby Jireh at the lighthouse in petone because we are watching Monsters university!!! The doctors said that baby Jireh wouldnt be able to walk but she is starting to make a few steps which is great.Baby Jireh cant really talk either, all she can say is mum or dad.Jireh used to do sign language to communicate with her parents but now that she knows what sounds are she is starting to talk.Baby Jireh is 2 years old,and as you can see by the pics above she is totally adorable!
