Progress?

Paisley now grips skinny toys, cloth toys, and doll hair with not only her preferred left hand, but also her right hand, and for many minutes at a time. My baby lost her smile to infantile spasms, but when I pulled down Paisley's bottom lip to show my friend her new teeth, she smiled! I did it again, and she smiled again. And I did it again, and it wasn't funny anymore... But the best thing that has happened is last night Paisley was lying in bed half way on her back and her side. I noticed she was rocking her shoulders trying to roll completely over on her side to get more comfortable. I watched her for a while and finally had to grab her leg to help her roll over, but I still have never seen her put effort into moving like that! It's funny how the littlest things like this make me so grateful and so hopeful.

We get to meet with our helpful developmental teacher, Andrea, and a visual specialist in the morning, then we get to meet a social worker from UT Genetics, and then I get to go apply for Children's Special Services for extra help. Taking the day off, so busy!
