Action Packed

Our days continue to be busy.  Yesterday we went to our appointment at the vent clinic and OT for Ava.  At the vent clinic appointment they lowered her pressure control from 32 to 30 and once again, Ava has been doing well so far.  At OT Ava tried some unthickened milk and did a good job with the coordination of sucking, swallowing and breathing the thinner milk.  We are going to continue trying this at home but keep a close eye on her to make sure she isn't having any trouble adapting to the nonthickened milk.  If you tasted the thickener, you'd be happy for Ava that those days could be over.  She also weighed 15 lbs. 7 oz. 

Reese is doing great.  Her hair is getting fuller and longer, she rolling around to get things, and she scooting on her belly quite a bit.  She's still a great eater but is getting more challenging to feed due to her social personality.  She wants to know what's going on and what everyone is doing even when she's eating!

Instead of just pictures I've included video clips of the girls.  Our days and evenings are action packed and this is just a glimpse of what the girls are up to lately.  They aren't doing anything different than what other babies do but Grammy requested more videos while she's away.  It makes it feel like we're not as far apart!

If you watch this video clip you don't need me to tell you that the girls love their nursery rhyme DVD.  They get pretty zoned in and it can be a lifesaver while we're waiting for the 9pm feeding!

This video is of Reese playing on her play mat in her new hot pink biker shorts!  They are actually for her physical therapy.  The legs are sewn together so that she has to keep her legs in and not "frog out."  Nothing screams the 80's more than neon biker shorts!

This video is of Ava loving her peek-a-baby book.
