Head Control and Eye Focus


Anna has had pretty good command of her head since the beginning. We are still optimistic that she may have avoided the melonhead gene. Even the nurses in the hospital were surprised by the strength of her back and neck (the back strength, she did not inherit from me or my father.)

It seems like Anna's eyes are beginning to focus on people and things. She looks at us when we speak to her (which might simply mean that she hears our voices), and this morning she was fixated on the penguin that Oma Christa placed on the changing table. With a little help, she was able to grab the scarf and pull the penguin on top of her (which scared Anna a bit). It is clear that she will be grabbin' Grammy's earings soon, like her cousins in Colorado always did.
