Peanugga's new glasses!!!

So my sweet Peanugga had an awesome day.......her new glasses came in and it's awesome to see her in them.  They obviously opened up her range of vision and she can't stop watching absolutely everything and smiling.......oh the smiling, it just melts my heart to watch it.  It's absolutely amazing.

She also turned 17 months old today and finally broke the 13lb barrier.  When Home Nursing came to do her weight today she was 13lbs 1/2 ounce!!!!  WOOHOO!!!!  Lots of cause for celebration in our house today.  She has her BHK home visitor coming tomorrow and we meet with the new physical therapist and her regular therapist on Friday.  Very busy week for us but I cannot wait to see how much the glasses help her progress. 

Big excitement on the feeding front too....her night feeds are completely back to normal and she kept down two 80ml feeds this afternoon!!  It's been well over a month since we've been able to keep down an 80ml feed.  It opens up a ton of time for therapy/play when we get to do feedings every 3 hours instead of every hour.  She also ate two teaspoons full of mixed fruit yesterday......she used to eat that in an entire day and yesterday we did it in one sitting...and we bought her some teething cookies and graduates goodies for the booster seat therapy in hopes that she will get them to her mouth like she does her toys and eat them.  I'm really hopeful that once she realizes she can feed herself the eating may really take off.

The bedtime thing is working out awesome too....by 9:30 she lets you know it's bedtime and we're all really liking the new routine.  It's all baby steps but it's all progress and any progress is celebrated in our house.  Madilyn has taught me to really step back and enjoy the small things in life.  Nothing is insignificant to me anymore......every smile, every giggle, wiggle or mimicked noise is cause to celebrate.  If she can be as happy as she is all the time then I think everyone should be.

  1. Kathy,

    I'm in awe. What a wonderful story you have created (thanks for the URL from Tom). You are an amazing person to have turned your life around and completely devote your time and everything you have to this little girl. Thank you for being so inspiring and allowing me to remember to not take my little one for granted, or any of the progress she makes as a 'healthy' baby. Thank you!
