Playing around

Guess what we have been doing...playing! Sweet bear, you have been doing a lot more over the last 2 weeks. We have been working with you to strengthen your muscles. The two of us got down on the play mat today and you laid on your back and reached for all of the toys. This is amazing! You are strong and it is amazing that a little guy who wasn't able to move for two-and-a-half months of his life can do all of the things you can do. Grabbing for toys, kicking your legs, and this morning your nurse said you were on your belly trying to look around and almost turned over. Turning will be the next thing we work on. I will also try to see if you can tolerate sitting in your bumbo seat.

Your dad is halfway across the country now with the dogs. The last I checked he was in Idaho, but trying to make it to Portland by tonight. I am doing well here with you. Just trying to keep motivated to get us back to your daddy. Unfortunately mommy's health insurance denied paying to transport you by plane to Portland, but we are trying another route that will hopefully be more promising. Fingers crossed! I am optimisitic.

Love you!
-Mom
