February Foto Dump!

             

          Due to my own negligence...or better stated; lack of time over the last month or so - I just decided to DUMP a few of my favorite clips to capture February!

                                       A bit random; but here goes.....

Retta makes it very clear when she is not feeling photogenic. She has a way of slouching her body to where she can slide down anything when she is the least bit interested in something.

...Finally she fell asleep here and we snapped a few!

 A rain storm caused our power to go out for a few hours in the middle of the day; so I bundled Retta up in the warmest items of clothing we could find and had a photo shoot! It got chilly in the house, but Retta was all smiles!

We practice "tummy time" ALL DAY LONG! Our OT, Barbara thinks Retta is more in the workout zone when she wears a headband - what ever helps! Retta is slowly gaining better muscle tone, but she still remains pretty hypotonic. This is just a part of Down Syndrome. We are currently working on rolling over. Retta still needs some help with this, but she is persistent and such a hard worker! It's way too early for the Bumpo...but we had to give it a try...don't tell our OT - she is not fond of Bumpos!

& the best of the piggies! We finally figured out what to do with all that hair! Now we need TWO bows in every color!

\Retta's weight gain has slowed down a bit during the month of February. She roughly gained only a half pound...most likely due to her increased activity level and intense workouts! (She hit 9lbs 3oz!)  However, the cardiologist is still happy with how she is progressing. Retta will be presented at conference today (Thursday) so we'll let you know when the big day will be as soon as we hear!
