Day 2 - Today 28 June 1.15pm to 1.50pm before lunch

Exercises done pre food tasting:
-> making sounds (Ah and Ooh). Baby follows well

-> lip close - count to 10 (1st set), 8 (2nd set), 20 (3rd set)

-> smack lips, blink eyes, stick out tongue commands all done well to "When u're happy and u know it tune" The blinking of eyes, right side of face still more movement. But obvious conscious and voluntary initiation.

-> using oral hygiene brush dipped in ice cold water clean inner cheeks and upper gums

-> metal spoon dipped in iced water x4 quick lip seal /contractions left and right done well.

-> face cloths dap "dry dry pretty pretty face" approach

Food Tasted:

-> given 5 small teaspoon bits (metal spoon) of organic yoghurt (Stonyfield Farm Apple yoghurt)
Some bits fell off, but good lip seal, and munching/smack lips following entrance of food

-> suctioned before, during and after. Total : 8 times
-> a bit of food suctioned out from mouth and a little from nose
-> quite a bit of secretions

Sound making/following:-> Singing Game: follows consistently "singing" using Ah and Ooh to Twinkle Star, BEar Song at the playground in the morning. Not to tune but to prompting of (your turn) as mummy sings to tune using Ah and Ooh. Still "Grring" and tensing up when excited. But can be diverted to "sing" when using the singing game.
