Day 39

Ben had another bath today! (Don't worry, this isn't only his second one... just the second one reported.) ;) Mom's getting much better and sensing what he likes, and what stresses him out. And Ben is getting better at appreciating a nice, relaxing, warm bath.

A light blanket keeps him from getting too chilly.

But after a while, it's not so bad without the blanket!

Thomas stops by to see what's up.

And you can't have a bath without your ducky!

Benjamin is showing more dexterity and thoughtfulness every day. Check out this video of him playing with the monkey that hangs over his changing table! Most of his movements are probably still random and involuntary, but you can see the wheels turning in his little mind. Some of those swipes look intentional; he's definitely playing! (And making monkey sounds.) Mom sure is proud.
