Video, Day 3 ~ Eating by Herself

Today's video was filmed by Mike.

I now know why whenever he is in charge of feeding Cayman, how food ends up everywhere...in her hair, on the walls, on the floor...

In the beginning part of the video Cayman continuously picks up her wash cloth and brings it to her face. She does not put it in her mouth or chew on it. She just keeps putting it to her face. We think she might be trying to wipe her mouth with it like we do after she is finished eating.

Mike started to film this video from a far. Cayman did not know he was there. A little bit into the video Daddy speaks her name and she instantly looks up. She could just be responding to a voice breaking the silence but there has been enough encounters of her responding specifically to her name that we do feel confident that she does know it. Either way, it's always a comfort to see her react to noise. Remember back in the fall when the medical professionals thought she might have hearing issues?

Another unique part of the video is when Cayman's exploring and playing with all the items on her tray. When Daddy speaks to her, she sees him and holds out the item in her hand, as if to show him what's she got.

The absolute best part of the video though is when she tries to feed herself. She's a smart little cookie and figures it out. Spoon feeding herself is something that rarely happens. In this video is the first time she has ever done it.
