Long Sabbatical
Ohh I can make a scary face for Halloween!
Hello all you faithful people who keep checking and wondering if I'm ever going to blog again. The camera has been MIA since we moved, and we only found it a couple of weeks ago. I know that what you mostly want to see are pictures, so I've got some for you now!
We went to see Dr. Cowley at Primary Children's today for Ellie's cardiology checkup. She didn't have to have an echo today, just a chest x-ray and an ekg. She is still doing FANTASTIC! Dr. Cowley can't believe that she's the same baby that was so very sick not so very long ago. She's lost some weight, down to 19 pounds. (She was at 20 pounds even at her 18 month check up...and 33 inches long!!!! She grew 3 inches in 3 months! ) Dr. Cowley wants her on the RSV shots again this winter because she is still so tiny and he wants her to get another year of growing under her belt. Luckily, RSV usually doesn't hit kids after 2 years old. Another nice thing is that in our new church there are only 3 kids in nursery right now. After the first of the year, there will only be Ellie, so she might be able to go to church this winter. If not, I guess I'll just hole up at home with her until next spring again.
Ellie is busy running around. She loves to go outside and play, and I let her as much as I can because the fresh air really is good for her. I know that's how she's burning all those calories off and losing weight, so I guess I'll just have to add more butter to her vegetables. She loves to eat now, and she is learning more sign language to help her tell me what she wants. It's so nice not to have nearly the screaming fits that most kids have at this age because she can tell me what she wants. We have also been working on her speech, and she can say quite a few words now.
We went to visit everyone in the NICU after the cardiology appointment. Amber was one of Ellie's nurses that took care of her a lot of the time, but we haven't seen her since Ellie's Picnic Day
Naked baby running around the examination room. (I'm not naked, I have a diaper on!)
That's my belly button! Isn't that cool?
We stopped to see Auntie Phyllis. She can't believe how good I look!
I got to play with Phyllis' baby doll and with Rosie, her dog!
