So Big!

Nora is back to work after her vacation. Yesterday, the home health nurse weighed and measured her for the first time in a month. She is 11 lbs 2 oz, 24 inches! Finally bigger than a newborn!

My Dr. Sears growth charts show that this is average for weight and way above average for length for her age. Looks like she is tall and skinny so far.

She also had a physical therapy session yesterday that she screamed her way through. She wasn't really in the mood I guess. She will now go to PT once a week since there are more milestones in the next couple of months to monitor (sitting, rolling, head raising, etc.) She continues to make good progress.

Today we met with Nora's teachers from Early On. She will start receiving Special Education services next month. We are excited to get started with this.. Hopefully Nora will be too!

Florida Trip Recap

We are home safe from our trip to Florida. Nora behaved well on the airplane ride there and back. On the way there, she was awake most of the time, but didn't fuss too much. On the way home it was just me and her, so I was glad she slept in her sling the entire time. We were lucky that for some strange reason Virgin Air just started a direct flight from Kalamazoo to Punta Gorda, Florida. It was a surprisingly full flight though, so I guess the demand must be there.





Here is a picture of her on the way down. Note the shamrock suit. It was St. Patricks Day!





We spent most days in Florida just hanging out with my parents at their rented condo in Naples. We went out for dinner a few times and Nora got some mileage out of her stroller which she enjoyed very much.









Grandma came home from the hospital during our visit after a fall last month. We were happy to have her home and Nora got to visit her at the hospital and after she got home. Here is Nora and her Great-Grandma and her Grandma!

Spring?

We got a little Spring preview last week with some warmer weather. Buster enjoyed the sunshine sitting out in the yard meditating for a while.





I had grand plans to take Nora to get her photo taken at Sears last week. I got her all dressed up in a cute outfit and packed up her diaper bag and as I was about to load her in her car seat, she fell asleep. She slept for 4 hours and the trip to the mall never happened. I took these pictures of her myself in her outfit after her nap. She is holding her head up really well now when on her belly and it bobs all around when she is propped up.
