Ups and downs.

Since my last post, we have not repeated the great experiences of that day, which I was told to expect. But there have been changes. Positive: Gracie said "EAT" when she wanted her bottle the other day, repeatedl. Not positive.: On the other hand, she won't make the sign for more to tell me she wants more nutella even when I know she knows how and when to use it. Positive: She is getting better at putting whatever is on the tray in her mouth, even if it is just a little bit. She likes STRAWBERRY PUDDING. On the other hand, she has been throwing wilder tantrums when she doesn't get what she wants right away. Positive: She took me to the refrigerator for the first! time today. I couldn't figure out what she would want. Then she pointed to the CHOCOLATE MILK!!!! You could have knocked me over with a feather!! I had to warm it up pretty much, but still. Not so positive: she sometimes has a fit if she doesn't get her nutella. Miss Trish says that is "normal behavior" - wanting a preferred food. So I guess that is ok but Miss Trish isn't around for the tantrums ;) Positive! She is starting to snuggle more with ME!!!! I wasn't feeling well this week, so I want up to my room when Chris came home. She wanted a bottle so Chris made her one. She took it from him and took it all the way up the stairs to sit with me!!!! This makes me happier than I can say! Also she is staying on my lap for longer periods of time.
