Okay... so this is the greatest thing ever. I'm sitting on my Mummy's lap the other day and I'm chewing on something that I always chew on these days and suddenly I see it moving... little fingers moving around and I'm thinking... what the devil is THAT?? So I start staring and I realize that there are two of them... HANDS! WOW... this is fantastic! It lasts a few seconds before I am distracted by yet something else and my Mummy thinks it's a fluke.
BUT GUESS WHAT???? Just today after we read a book, and I was relaxing in my usual manner (in Mummy's lap with the boppy, chewing my fists) and I start again... first the fingers are moving and I am so captivated by that - and then I realize again that I can move the hands either independantly or together. THIS IS THE BEST! And my fingers... they move all around too and I am loving watching this happen. I watch my hands and fingers moving around for about two minutes today... then I realize that I'm hungry, and I look at my Mummy to feed me and she is smiling away! I love her.
In other news... I went to see my Pedi doctor yesterday, Dr. Hollister, and he is really happy with me. (And who isn't??) I gained some weight in the last couple of weeks, and now I weigh 12 lbs 8.5 ozs. I am HUGE here people.... maybe even gigantic! I have outgrown clothes... my Mummy is happy and sad all at the same time! My Dr. John (that's what he lets me call him! I'm really special) thinks that I am looking great, and that I am gaining weight well. Then he gave me some yummy sugar water... mmmmm... then he stuck me in the legs with something that HURT me. That made me mad - and I turned all red in my face and my mouth just popped open! No sound came out though... until Mummy picked me up. Then I screamed until it started to seem better... and when Daddy held me, everything was good again! I love him!
A woman named Kelly came to our house this morning to see us. I guess she was really here to see me. Mummy says she is with Easter Seals and that she is going to help me catch up... with what?? With Bruin and Bucky? I don't even roll over never mind chase those two around the house...hummmm... But I guess Kelly is going to help me learn to do things like roll over and grab toys, which actually sounds like good fun. Today was kind of hard on me, especially after yesterday with the poking needles into my legs. So I tolerated Kelly holding me and I tolerated her laying me on the floor and letting me watch a toy, but when she rolled me on my side - everything went all wrong! Then my Mummy needed to cuddle me and I just wanted Kelly to go away. :-( She was really nice though. She talked really softly, and she left pretty fast after I was upset. I guess I will see her again next week, and I will try to better next week.
I saw my NICU nurses on Monday too this week. They are all doing so good, and I also saw Dr. F who took such good care of me when I was in the NICU. And I had a good cuddle with My Melina, and with Jenn too, and they were really excited to see how big I am (Superman-Like... I'm telling you) but they couldn't visit long cuz they had other little boys and girls to take care of now. But I love seeing them. :-)
Well, I guess that's all for now. I love you all!!!
