Lots of Firsts

Sporting the 'NICU haircut'...the nurse calls it that (shaving a part of the head so they can put a line in). You know the lighting is bad if our camera can't get good photos...this is as good as it gets.



Well, good news...for once...PTL!! Emily is still eating and tonight they will up the amount to 0.5ml per hour. Her blood gases are stabilizing and they actually adjusted her settings on her vent today. Everything else is kind of the same.

In other news: K took her FIRST STEP last night! I don't know if we get to count it but she held on to her toy and let go for one step to get to Dad.

She also opened her first Christmas present today...it was quite fun and she LOVES her new lion push toy.






Helping Dad put it together...such a studious little girl!


Riding it...

Pushing it...

Emily looks stronger but maybe it is my imagination. Has she gained any weight?
Kylie is adorable and so focused on her new toy! Fun. Christmas will be such fun for her/you when opening gifts.

You're still in my thoughts and prayers throughout the day -- especially with today being Emily's six-week anniversary!

Love the pics of Kylie.
