This got lost in the interwebs, thought i posted it a while ago!:
Miss Loie is officially a five month old!
Five months ago, she made her debut, with a pitiful "Mew" kitten cry. I love this kid. :)
Much of the day was spent with her and myself driving around Boise and Meridian.
She saw the cranio/facial "head shape" specialist. Probably the quickest office visit she has had to-date. Nothing, compared to her 3 hour long ophthalmology appointments.... ughhhhh. This one was easy, he examined her head shape, measured, and said that he can tell her head was pretty bad, but that it is looking much better now. No Toritcollis. No Craniosynostosis. She does not need a helmet right now! yay! Follow up in two months, and we keep fighting the good fight, trying to keep her from always lying on that same side. Also, random quirk of the day, the doctor says to me, "Loie? I haven't heard that name in a long time!" and I said, "Oh? but you've heard it?" and he said, "Oh, yes, my next door neighbor growing up was named Loie." huh! well, that was neat!
Anyway, after that, we spent waaaaay longer than necessary waiting in NORCO to get some supplies. With the holiday last week, we missed our delivery/order date (my bad) so we had to go in to pick up some things, and I guess we weren't the only ones! Loie was very patient, and was such a good girl. She attracted some attention of a few onlookers while there.....I guess she's kinda cute :P
We've had no more choking/seizure/I don't know what - episodes, so that's good! She's eating well, though her volumes, I know, aren't what her nurses/doctors what them to be yet. She still fits into her newborn sized clothes. So, she's petite?? It's okay! Micro-preemie problems.
Upcoming is her (hopefully) last (for a little while) ophthalmology appointment, which we hope to see no more signs of ROP! And her usual nurse and OT/PT visits.
Loie likes to smile and alllllmost laugh at her dangly jingly toys! And she loves to watch her big brother when he runs by like a crazy person! So Sweet!! She also thought it was pretty funny yesterday, when Dad was changing her poopy diaper. No reason. Just funny to her. Ha!
Lennon is getting more and more Two-Year-Old-y, if I can make that a term. He is getting more of this independent attitude! He gets really mad if he can't do what he was setting out to do, such as take the AC/ Heating vents apart, and insert arms or legs into the floor. Or dart outside without shoes or shirt, or any fair warning to us..... He also has bitten us a few times.... yikes! Trying to put an end to THAT right away! The other day, he was being naughty, and Justin firmly told him, "NO!" and Lennon stopped, gave him a dirty look, and said, "APPLE!" one of the few words he knows how to say. hahahahah!! but his message was clear! What a funny kid. We might start using Apple as a swear word around here. What the Apple??!
