J had Kai sitting up in the boppy the other day and for a short time he was really enjoying it. He was being so cute looking around and we were able to get this adorable shot. He was sitting straight and then just before the shot he decided to move and angled his neck just as the picture was taken. When we tried to straighten him again for another try, he decided he was done. It is really hard to get a good picture while he is awake because he moves so much. He is getting stronger and starting to lift his head more.
Kai has found his hair! I caught him twirling his hair with his fingers and looking oh-so sleepy. If we hadn't grabbed the camera and gotten some pictures, he would have fallen asleep playing with his hair.
We have had some questions about how we bathe Kai--ie do we have to give him sponge baths? The answer is no. We are able to bathe him just as a normal baby; we just have to make sure we don't get water into his trach because it goes straight to his lungs. When we give him a bath we have the trach nose and the oxygen attachment, which covers the trach opening so water is not so easily able to get in. Obviously, we cannot completely submerge Kai, but you wouldn't do that with an infant anyway.
