Confessions from the mind of this sleep deprived mom navigating the world of complex medical needs, deafblindness, and special education. And y'all, it may not always be pretty, but it's real, and it's always for the love of Ivey.

Fine Motor Skills
Our little angel.
She loves to rub her new tooth.
She is learning to manipulate small objects with her thumb and index finger. Ivey loves playing with the little balls on her sun hat.
p.s. this elastic does not snap back.
Ivey has taught herself to feel her conformers between her thumb and index finger. This is about the time when she will pull her conformers out.
What you see attached around her neck to the blue tubing is a heated trach collar, HTC. It supplies moisture to her trach. There is no oxygen involved.
Another example of fine motors skills being developed at our house. However, if you were actually here, you might not call them 'fine'. Just move out of his way.
That's Ivey in the background. She is in her carrier having a snack. The blue bag contains her feeding pump.

I was so excited to see some pictures when I clicked over from your comment. I was just thinking the other day that I wish you would post some...maybe you have before and I missed them.
Anyway, Ivey is just beautiful and how exciting to see all of the milestones that she is reaching! I know that not a single one is missed or taken for granted.
I love the pic of the boys lovin' on Ivey and the one of them on their motorized toy. I have a few that could have some fun with your boys!
