Say WHAT?!

We are at 68 days since our last hospital stay or ER visit. This is huge. That's the same number of days that we were in the hospital between November and May. 

To celebrate, Wyatt is currently having a party in his crib. I can't decide if I'm angry or not. The party is because he learned a new trick. He learned how to push up when he's on his stomach (like tummy clears the ground!) and then proceeds to fall a second later, which is suuuuuuuper fun in the crib since he sort of bounces. We hear squeals of delight every now and then because it's just so much fun to do this new trick. Way better than sleeping, in his mind (clearly he can't be my child... I'd choose sleep over fun any day) and so he does it repeatedly. It's quite a feat considering he has a face full of BiPAP mask, air blowing in his face, and tubing to work around. 

See that blur to the left of the tubing? Yup. That's Wyatt. In motion. Mid-roll, laughing at his poor mother who just wants to sleep. 

This afternoon he had some avocado. He ate it in a very unconventional way. I mean, I love me some avocado, but not nearly as much as he does. Kid was bouncing and doing yoga, while eating. But he loved every second of it. 

Side note: You'll notice he's in his bouncer, instead of his high chair. He had spent a fair amount of time sitting up and working his core prior to that, so we went back to the idea that food is fun and we are working on oral motor, so we removed the core workout, which is required of him when he's sitting up. These are all things we have to consider when we are working (and playing!) with him. We have to strike a balance between work and fun, but also focus on the major goal of the activity. Sometimes it's exhausting analyzing (over analyzing?) the activities we do each day, since Wyatt requires some modifications to his daily living.
