This is Shannon. It is my first attempt at posting. Jeremy gave me a brief explanation on how to do it...so I am giving it a whirl.
Every morning there is a period of time when Irene sleeps very "fitfully". She is peaceful, and then writhes around, then is peaceful...and so on. We usually spend this time on the couch so I can put her pacifier back in, or adjust her sleeping position (she gets herself all kitty-wampus during her thrashing!) During her fitfulness she also snorts...if you listen closely you can hear it in the video.
Often times she will scratch herself during her morning spasms! As short as I keep her nails she still manages to do damage! This is a good example... (listen for more snorting)
A few days ago we went for a walk around the neighborhood. The sidewalks are not-so smooth and we went over lots of cracks and bumps. Even after we had returned from our walk Irene was dreaming about bumps! (You can move the arrow forward to about 30 seconds to see the important part).
Within the last few days Irene has become aware of her hands. She is batting at her toys purposefully! Although she doesn't have total control over her arms, and she is still sort of spastic she does a good job whacking the lion chime! :)
I am so blessed to get to be with Irene during the day and watch her grow and change! What a joy she is.

What a cute little niece we have! So glad to have another snorter in the family, so proud of her. Love the third video.
Way to Blog Shan! If I can do it you can definitly do it!
She is just so cute I want to take a bite and eat her up!!!
yea! Great to have your input on all of this Shannon, so respect the 'mothers' voice more than the Dad (don't tell Jer I said that!!). She's gorgeous, and to me, the absolute spit of you!!
