This week, I started physical therapy both at UCD and Alta Regional! It’s the best kind of appointment, I just get to play with cool toys and move around! They both said I’m doing GREAT and just gave me a few things to work on with stretching and trunk strength. I’m starting to like tummy time (for a little bit) and I’m getting good at grabbing toys! My wake windows are getting a little longer and I like to be entertained for most of them, so me and momma have a lot of fun during the day. I also love

We just got back from my follow-up echocardiogram! We’ll have a visit with my pulmonary hypertension doc next week to go over the results. I was a big love bug at the visit and all the nurses came over to say hi and tell me how cute I am! I even saw one of my sweet nurses from the hospital. There was the coolest artwork in the lobby that I loved looking at!​

We had the best day at Lizzy’s baby shower! Such a fun day and I loved hanging out with everyone and being passed around.

More photos from my 3-month birthday!

Some of our favorites from Ellie’s JC Penney 3 month shoot and the one we did at home! She is getting soooo smiley and photogenic and it makes us sooo happy.

Such a fun day visiting OSS for the first time for Kristy & Keelin’s engagement party! I was a little sleepy but I think I’ll like hanging out with the goats. Harold the pig seemed ambivalent about meeting his goddaughter.

I got to see my grandparents for the first time since I got out of the hospital back in July!!! We had soooooo much fun and I love them a lot.
Grandma Marsha got me a cool Wonder Woman outfit! And Gammy Nancy got me a pretty blue dress. I loooved hanging out with them and was all smiles!
P.S. Right before they visited, I pulled out my ng tube and mom and dad decided it was time to try doing all oral feeds! I’ve been doing GREAT ever since.

Two months old! I’m starting to smile more and babble a little bit. I love to bounce and when dad gives me “carnival rides” to calm me down! (Swinging and swaying all around)

Two weeks after I got home from the hospital, my auntie Dayna visited! I was just starting to be a smiley girl. I still loved to be swaddled and napped a lot of the day.
Auntie Dayna was there for me as soon as she could when I was first admitted to the PICU and she was one of my biggest cheerleaders, especially for my mama, when times were hard. It was so special for Dayna to see me out of the hospital, healthy, and happy. We went to the park (my first time!) and auntie helped mom organize

Some photos from my first 10 days home from the hospital! My auntie Lucy and Ronnie came up to visit the weekend after I came home. They were soooo overjoyed to meet me and I loved snuggling with them. Mom and dad and the pets were just so happy I was home and healthy! And happy I got good use out of newborn sized clothes for awhile!
