We had a fun visit with OT today. Casey, our occupational therapist, is working with Kalista on the play mat since she is getting to that age for quality floor time. They are working on sitting and neck control/strength, reaching out with her arms and rolling on her back from one side to the other (the precursor move to crawling). Kalista had a great time, but tired out and fell asleep in the middle of her exercises.

The final results came back from the Infectious Disease folks and everything came back negative, which means that the thrush is gone. Kalista's tongue is still white, but they are suspecting it may be a milk stain from her reflux. We have started an oral hygiene regimen with these pink foam swabs. They look like those Dum Dum lollipops and have a mint flavor to them. We hope this will help with the white coating on her tongue.
Hmm....thought we had a picture of Kali with the pink lolly. Guess we don't....oh well.
awwww can i pinch her cheeks? len
