The Toughest Boy!

Now that we've had our eyes opened to the development of a healthy baby, we have come to appreciate even more the struggles Tage has endured. He has had to work SO hard to learn to do things that come completely naturally to healthy babies. Huntlie is only one month old now and during tummy time can already, naturally push up on her arms, lift her head high, and look all around, and she's on the vurge of rolling over. It took Tage months and months of hard work and practice before he was able to push up on his arms or roll over. These are still we work on daily in physical therapy. It makes me sad to know that Tage should not have to work so hard to do these things. But I know that overcoming all of these obstacles will make him and have made him very strong and determined. We are so proud of all of Tage's accomplishments and hard work. He really is the toughest boy I know.

All That Hair!

While laying on the floor watching Tage the other day, Huntlie lost control of one of her little hands. She put the DEATH GRIP on a patch of her own long hair. I have never heard such a horribly sad howl! She turned bright read and screamed and screamed, yet would NOT let go of her hair. I finally was able to pry her white-knuckled fingers from her scalp and calmed her down. She was traumatized completely and continued to tremble and sigh for a few minutes. Poor Sweet Baby. She did not learn her lesson and has since pulled the same trick two other times. We couldn't help to laugh but still felt bad for our silly girl.
