I finally went through the 9-12 month clothes I had gathered for Oliver and sorted out all the outfits that would still work. Previously I had prepared for a feeding tube (so no onesies, zip-up jammies, etc. - his tummy needed to be easily accessible), but not a trach. No more t-shirts now either! Jammies and shirts have to be all completely snap up. Pants work OK, but snap up is a bit easier because of the oximeter probe on his foot. I kept this one outfit because I just really liked it, and the collar was big enough to be clear of the trach and for me to get it on him by pulling it over his legs. He looks so dressed up compared to wearing jammies all the time!
We also got him into his swing for the first time since we've been home. He woke up for a bit when we put him in and he got really interested feeling his toys in front of him. He's big enough now that his little arms can reach the tray. I think the more upright positioning will be good for him and the support of the swing will help his hands find the toys on the tray. I'm really excited about having a new way to let him play!
what a little honey! praying and believing in miracles!

ReplyDeleteI've said it before, but I'll say it again...Oliver is one beautiful baby-- strikingly so.
