Good doctor report!


We saw Dr. Cottrill on Monday. She said everything looked good with Elyse's heart, but that she wanted to see her gain more weight. Right now she is 6 mths old and weighs 12 lbs. So we have started really pushing the baby foods and the cereal and she is doing much better with that. Dr. Cottrill suggested we let her play with a spoon as a toy to help with the eating. When she is not gagging herself, she loves this new "toy." We are enjoying our snow day together today, although I can't stand the thought of going to school until June 5. Oh well... at least I get to spend the day with my Lysee!

i am a bad blogger



ok, for some reason, mycomputer is not letting me use caps or my shift key... hmmm
anyway, i am feeling so bad because i have not posted sooner. life gets crazy with a little one. but i love it. things are going fabulous with us. lysee is getting so big.she is six months old now and trying her best to crawl. she's got the back part down but has no clue what to do with her front part. she is finally eating cereal well so we're hoping to start real baby foods soon. she is even sleeping in her own room finally. this is was very hard for me to do but she is sleeping ten thousand times better in there, so it's definitely a good thing. she had a very big girl moment at her babysitter's house today. aunt cole was letting lysee chew with a particular toy and when her daughter took it away from lysee, she screamed and cried. nicole thought her daughter had hurt lysee because she would not stop crying for about 3 minutes. finally, she tried giving lysee her toy back and she stopped crying instantly, smiled, and started chewing on it again. she is so rotten and it's... well... very precious.

i will try to make time to post more often. as for health issues, we have not seen dr. cottrill, our cardiologist since december. at that time, she said she absolutely did not need to see lysee until feb, which was hard for me. but praise god, we haven't needed to see her and all is wonderful. we go see her on president's day. thanks for remembering to keep her in your prayers, always. as i always say, she is such a normal baby, it is so easy to forget the true miracle she is. god has blessed us beyone belief.
