Yipee!!!

Some great things have been happening over the past couple of weeks.  Aside from taking a long weekend trip to Nags Head this past weekend (which was nice and relaxing) Sydney is starting to get sooooo much better at sitting up on her own.  She does really well until she decides that she wants something that is just out of her reach – then it’s man down!  She still hasn’t grasped the concept that she needs to catch herself when she’s falling over but at least her band is giving her head some cushion!  Sitting up is great progress!  Her head is usually midline and her physical therapist says that babies with torticollis usually have the hardest time mastering sitting in midline so Sydney is looking good! 
Therapy this week was really good too!  We are still going to physical therapy once a week for the torticollis.  This week’s measurements were the best yet!  We are still working with her quite a bit at home (things like stretching, massage, and feeding from the left side) to keep her working her muscles.  Sydney really likes to sit up and reach for things which is good for her so she can keep working her core muscles and strengthen them.  She’s rolling like a rolley-polley too!  She’s all over the place which is a big milestone for her with having torticollis.
WE HAVE A TOOTH!!!  This week I was feeding her and saw something white.  I got a closer look and there is a tooth peeking through!  It’s the bottom left tooth (right side of this pic):

All of this leads me up to today’s Band check.  Today was our one week check (she’s had the band on for 11 days – which is the longest time yet) and everything still looks good!  So good in fact that our technician recommended going to two week checks!!!  That means we don’t have to go back for two weeks unless something happens…YAY!!!!!
