Rockstar...

Our little Ava is a Rockstar.  Yep, that's exactly what one of the neonatologists called her today at her vent clinic appointment.  Once again she was weaned on her vent settings and has done well on them since being home this afternoon and evening.  For those of you following the numbers...her rate went from 30 to 28, her pressure control moved from 34 to 32, and her pressure support went from 31 to 29.  We are so thankful for every little move down.  Her weight was 14 lbs. 5 oz. which was a great weight gain from last time.  She also went to an OT and a PT appointment today.  We were given some things to work on with Ava at home to improve her oral and motor skills.  After a long day with three appointments at Children's Mercy Hospital, she was pretty pooped.  We've got a two-week break until our next vent clinic and PT appointments...Thank goodness!

Pooped...see what I mean!

Reese got to spend the day with Nana and Pappy.  She is getting extremely close to crawling.  She gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth but hasn't gotten the hang of moving her hands and knees yet.  Other than that, she has been enjoying the days with sissy...watching nursery rhymes, reading books, having tummy time, and of course eating and napping! 

Miss Ava has officially found her thumb!

Reading books and occasionally chewing them too!

Such a big girl on all fours!
