Our Week

Here is a quick snapshot of our week. There is so much more that I didn't have pictures of. For example, Teryn is smiling so much more on a regular basis now. We have been working very hard with tracking and head and trunk control. By bedtime she is exhausted. We have gotten into a bathtime routine and I believe Teryn is showing excitement when she starts anticipating the bath. When she hears her bathtime music and we start taking her clothes off she starts kicking and waving her arms in excitement. This is great since anticipitory action was an area where she scored very low. Our bathtime takes a while since we also have to clean around her gtube and change the dressing. Then I also give her a massage to help her relax and stimulate her muscles. One night this week she was so relaxed she fell asleep in the few seconds it took me to go to her room to get something I forgot.

Daddy didn't mind letting her nap on him while they waited.

We got to get out and have lunch for Aunt Cheryl's birthday. This was also a special day because it was the first time cousin Trista was able to meet Teryn. We have been waiting and limiting exposure to young children and Trista has been wanting to see Teryn so badly. This was also a great day for me because I had been missing my Trista and cousin Gavin is growing so fast we had to see him.

Trista was so excited to show off her little brother and couldn't wait to show me how she can hold him.

Uncle Lee wasn't able to join us because he has been so busy with work. We will see him soon.
Here is Aunt Cheryl with Trista and Gavin.

I had been playing with Teryn on the floor. Xavier was wanting me to play with him also. I picked Teryn up to change her and when I looked down this is what I saw:

He stole Teryn's pillow.
