We meet at a local eatery on 10/9. Cookie enjoys the visit and doesn’t pay any special attention to either of us but at the end of the visit I hold her to take a photo and she doesn’t want me to let her go or hand her to her mother. Husband and I agree it was very strange and wonder if being in my arms allowed her to smell me thus triggering a memory.

We question Cookie’s eyes that appear to be crossed again and mother notes that Cookie’s doctor is following the issue. Mother notes difficulty with Early Intervention therapist attendance and I advise her on contacting the Early Intervention caseworker to get another therapist for the therapies. I assure the mother that this is expected if the therapist is not showing up.

Mother takes a trip out of state to visit relatives who have not yet seen the baby. Trip is approximately 3 weeks long per CPS caseworker.

CPS caseworker prepares to go on maternity leave and brings the covering caseworker to our home to introduce us
