snuggles

Sunday morning snuggle time.
Eve has had a good weekend. She has improved in feeding herself - she is more willing to do it and has been semi-successful with the spoon and fork. I have been praising her in excess for her efforts. It worked when trying to get her to let the first solid morsel of food pass her lips, so why not try that method again? She seemed pretty pleased with herself. She has also begun saying juice ("ju") and banana ("nanna"). We took her grocery shopping today and the shopping cart cover seemed to work. She was quite content to ride around the store. Her latest thing that she does is kiss your neck when you hold her and give you zerberts there. It's too funny. I am sure she learned it from us - we do it to her all the time.

Last night we went to a baby dedication of some friends of ours. Afterward, some people broke out the guitars and started playing and singing. Eve managed to be sitting next to the base guitar and had a grand time strumming it. I think she really likes music. Oh, and I finally bought a Halloween costume - she's going to be a pumpkin. I found a plush pumpkin vest with a hood that she can wear over a black shirt and leggings.

We are so happy that the MRI is in less than 2 weeks. I am a little nervous because she has a pre-op appt 2 days prior and I imagine they will draw blood. It always seems to be so difficult to get blood from her, I hope it doesn't blow good spots to insert the IV on the actual day of the MRI. Oh, well. She will get through it. We also were able to get an appt with a pediatric orthopedic Dr who works with CP kids. That appt isn't until Nov 20th, but that's okay. At least we are moving forward.
