Day 8, Friday 7/25

Holly had a great day so far. This morning she played quietly, sang songs, and took a nap with Mommy. When she woke she was very energetic and smiley She was holding her bottle more and bearing weight on her legs. In her nest she was sitting and playing with her star and Galaxy toy, and I placed them on her left side and she was picking them up from that side, but doesn't extend that side as much. We also did some stretches this morning.

We went to swimming in the afternoon, and she did very well today. For some reason when I leaned back to dip my hair into the water, and then lifted back up to look at her she would laugh, perhaps it was like a peek a boo, but I would do it over and over and each time it made her laugh. She was very kicky in the pool, she was very chewey as well, and looked at other babies. we splashed and went under water twice, and jumped several times. at the end when the floating toys come out she reached for them, and grabbed a lobster with both of her hands and chewed on its claw. Paige, our playdate was two and she would hand holly little fish toys which she would reach for and take. She was mostly quiet today, until the end, but she was much more smiley then usual, she is typically very thoughtful when at the pool, and today she looked very comfortable in her environment.

She was chewing on her toes with mommies help and grabbing them and pulling them to her mouth on her own. This week her granny is visiting, so she was up late going to the airport. She ate at 9:30 and had a 25 dose of Minocycline mixed in 3ml of Apple Juice at 11:00 PM. She didn't like this as much as the night before, as she was more awake and had to actively drink it, so was riled up from seeing her granny, who has not seen her since she was a week old. She didn't want to go to sleep. I tried putting her into the crib awake with sleepy eyes, but she kept fussing and fighting it off, so after about 20 minutes I had to get her. She did eventually fall asleep in her swing.
