We were thrilled to get report from the night nurse this morning that Brendan had a very restful night. She was afraid to say that he was doing well for fear of jinxing him! He had a surprisingly good day today too, just a few troublesome episodes.

He has started scritching his little nails on things to feel textures. He especially likes Daddy’s whiskers.

He spent time on the floor in outer space too

“Don’t mess with me, little planet dude, I will shake you up!”

He must have been in space too long, he passed out cold! He slept here for quite a while, we weren’t about to disturb a nice nap.

Brendan had an exceptional physical therapy appointment. He was all smiles and was showing off all of his tricks. The therapist was really complimentary to us as well, he says he was very pleased with all the things we were doing and with Brendan’s progress. We practiced some more rolling and footplay today.

Brendan was a little late for lunch, Trevor was waiting.

Brendan won’t eat puffs, but his therapist says he is supposed to play with food.

“Are you going to eat those, bro?”

Caught puff-nabbing!!

Trevor still hasn’t figured out forward motion, but now he is trying to figure how to stand. He is pulling on furniture to get up, it is just a matter of time.

Mr. No Nap strikes again. I was just about to put him in his crib when the speech therapist showed up and the dogs barked and Trevor had to come be part of the commotion.

Speech therapy went very well today too. She backed off on her approach and introduced a new toy that Brendan likes to chew on. She left it with him this week to let him get used to it.

I told Trevor to make his best “I miss Gramma” face.

He was so overtired, he had his post-dinner bottle and was in bed by 6:45pm. We expect to hear from him again soon. Brendan had a long bath and is asleep now too.
