Before vs. After Baby Glasses

Even just 1 day after getting Chloe glasses, I can see a huge change! Chloe has a very strong prescription-shes extremely far sighted.  Before the glasses, we could never hang toys or a mobile above her, she would blink a lot and start crying. We couldn't get super close to her face or kiss her nose without her blinking a lot either. I would hold the books as far away as possible while reading to her and still she wasn't focused. If we held her on our lap and had her face us, Chloe wouldn't even look at us because we were too close. When we went for walks she got crazy excited about trees because they are so high up she could actually see them! You get the idea. 

  Today I tried something new....hanging toys above her when she was playing on her mat. For the first time ever, she didn't blink fast or cry! You can see that she's actually focused on the toy hanging and really examining it!

    

Amazing! But thats not all..she also enjoyed her mat! Just look 

She discovered that kicking the bar made the toys shake. I think I had just as much fun watching her as she did playing. It makes me so happy to know that my baby can see and now her brain can start making better connections. Infant, she has been doing tummy time and sitting in her bumbo much longer than before! Now that we can motivate her with toys that she can see I think its been helpful. I read her a story today, The Squirrel Twins and she was looking at the book, focusing on it while I read to her. She started kicking and smiling getting so excited!!  The last huge difference I noticed was with her feeding. As some of you know, Chloe is in feeding therapy so we are trying to teach her how to eat/drink by mouth. Usually when I feed her she doesn't open her mouth when I bring the spoon or bottle to her face. It was like she didn't know it was even there. Today when I fed her baby pears and gave her her bottle she opened her mouth wide each time I brought it to her mouth! She finished her "goal amount" of food in just 10 minutes. Before it would take up to an hour!!! I am just so amazed at what glasses can do for a baby.
