NDNorth: The Face of Hard Work

Rina has come such a long way since the first post we wrote about her. She's grown stronger, and we have introduced more positions into her daily schedule. During activity time the other day, Rina was able to sit propped up in the corner of the sofa. Doesn't she look so interactive during Peek-A-Boo time?

Rina is such a pretty little girl (as her shirt says) and she responds quickly with a smile to any attention or affection.

We're working on her neck and trunk strength, these days, which includes tummy time. At first, tummy time over the snake was hard, and Rina could hardly lift her head up. Now, well... just look at her!

This is Rina's "I think I can... I think I can... I know I can!" face.

Sometimes tummy time can be exhausting,though, and sometimes Rina just needs a break. 

But after a little rest, she's back at it again! And just look at that strength... just look at how high her head is! Good job, Rina!

And when Rina knows that she's done it... she makes her "courageous victory" face. 

Such hard work, but she's such a little champion. 

We are so incredibly proud of you, Rina! With that kind of spunk and determination, you are going to achieve so much.
