Giggles

Carly celebrated eight weeks of tumor free living this weekend and had a good week of slow but steady progress. Her neck is getting stronger and she can hold her head up for several minutes now (a long way from not being able to hold it up at all.) She spent more time in her glasses this week and although it isn't easy to tell if she likes them yet, she doesn't complain about wearing them. There are a growing number of times each day when Carly seems to really "turn on" and is very attentive and present. During one of these times tonight she was intently looking at me and after tickling her chin she giggled and smiled and kicked her legs up in the air. It was one of the cutest things I have seen, and such great progress. She is an amazing little miracle.
