Waiting at the Airport

Waiting at the Airport

Holly's great granny irene is coming to visit today, and Holly was at the Airport to meet her.

Day 10 Sunday 7/27

Holly was very playful this morning. Her granny reports that they had tummy time, ocean time, and they also walked around the back yard. She was very talkative when she met her great granny this afternoon, and we went out to lunch and shopping again, she was very curious looking at all the things at the stores. i got her a new bouncy ball full of glitter that spins and makes cool swirl patterns and she really likes it. her granny got her some number flashcards but we haven't played with them yet. She has been chewing on things a lot, her fingers always and she has begun to actually grab her tongue with her hand, so she gets lots of oral stimulation. We sang songs, read stories, and played with the shakers.

She has been very smiley and playful and talkative, even to new people when she first meets them. She has been standing on her full weight, but not balancing yet, she has also been sitting with some back support. She seems to recognize the camera, and it is almost as if she poses when i am going to take a picture. She also 100% knows her bottle, and will stop fussing when I begin to make it for her, she has been trying to "help" feed herself, and her granny isn't very good at feeding her, because when she helps she often pushes the bottle out of her mouth, so she has been eating often short snacks, and her sleeping pattern is all off due to the visitors, she doesn't get her long morning nap as usual, so she is a bit more cranky during the day when she doesn't get her need met right away, so I am going to try and get her back on schedule, but not stress about it until after the visitors leave.

I have been trying to do the imitation game, but Holly has not really been reciprocating. We gave her food at 7:30, and she took her Minocycline 25 dose at around 8:45 with 5 ML of apple Juice. She didn't like it but she did drink it all down. I was able to get her to sleep within an hour, and she stayed asleep until 5:00 am ish.
