Since we didn't post any photos - I thought I'd give a little follow up with some cute bathtime pics.
Alex really loves taking a bath. She especially likes picking up her cup full of water (with holes in the bottom) and letting it drain everywhere, even if it's in her face. As you can see from the 1st pic, she's still in one of the basic infant tubs, which we're hoping to upgrade tomorrow. We really need something that supports her upright, since she has such a hard time sitting up on her own.
In fact, that was the focus of SB clinic the other day - supportive equipment and what's available that would most benefit her. She really needs something that will support her lower back & allow her to focus on controlling her head & neck. It's just too much for her to do all 3 at once (for more than a few seconds anyway). But we're hoping the HGH therapy, combined with regular physical therapy, will get her trunk control back to where it should be. So far, the HGH therapy seems to be going well, but they tell us it will be a few months before we really start to see significant changes. She does seem to have grown another inch in the past few weeks, which is def a good sign.
Her fevers are still coming & going, but just low enough grade to keep us from taking her to the hospital (around 100F). And still pretty sporadic. But they don't seem to be going away completely, so we're going to wait until the weekend's over & see if we need to make a call to her doc on Monday. Since everything else seems fine - we're trying not to be too concerned about it, but there's always that chance that something unknown's lurking around the corner.

I am so happy to hear and see that she is doing well. What a happy baby girl....she has a beautiful smile!
She looks like a 'who' from whoville in the tub ; ) very precious. I can hear her little coos & squeaks every time I look at her photos. It was so great to finally meet her. I was trying to find the seated bath rings for Isaac recently but couldn't find any, hope you are able to.
