June 23 - June 28

Sandra & Jerry came and stayed with us, this time in our guest room, since Darryl had to go to Alaska for work. It was a huge help and Sandra taking care of William at times during the day and sometimes in the wee hours, really allowed me to catch up on some sleep.

June 25th, we put William into the vibrating seat and rattled the rattles and bounced the seat and tickled William’s tummy. He made little giggles/laughs of enjoyment: a big smile on his face and cute little “shrieks” of happiness. I thought this was the first time he’d done that, and was so excited to get it on video for Darryl, but upon seeing some video from a few days before, I saw that William had made those little noises before only I hadn’t recognized them for what they were. Even so, it was really really cute and it made me very happy to see him happy and excited. He is starting to have an “awake and alert” time every day now, which lasts about 0-2 hours once a day.
