Growing Strong

Seeing the world

After spending so much time in the hospital, Alex told us she wanted to get outside for some fresh air. So we took advantage of the nice weather and took her for her 1st camping trip (to the Poudre River). Attached are some pics we came back with.

Some pics of a happy baby

Sorry it's been so long since our last post. As promised, here are some more pics of our little angel, including her 1st art gallery.

Home Sweet Home

I can't believe it's already Tuesday. So sorry we haven't posted for a few days. I know some of you thought we may have been kidnapped and we have been by our baby girl :)
We had a great weekend together at home and Alex just continues to amaze us. As we read the Sunday newspaper, Alex read her baby animals book which she loves. She is already a month old and time is flying.

Since Alex has been home we've been working on settling back into a routine. Momma and Daddy have been a bit sleep deprived since Miss Alex likes to be up until the early morning hours lately, but we are working on that (all you parents are probably laughing). She likes her sponge baths and enjoys getting her hair washed in the sink. She's also been getting her vitamin D and is def an outdoors girl. We have dinner most nights on our back porch and like to visit outside when we have company over and of course Alex is the center of attention and right there with us.

We only have one doctors appointment this week with neurosurgery and it's just a follow up visit for her shunt. So far so good. No complications that we are aware of and she has been recovering beautifully. We plan to visit her great grandma Joyce tonight who is a very special woman to momma. We love hearing from everyone and are glad that you are still checking in.

Much Love!

Happy Days

We are all smiles here at home. Alex is doing great and she is just the cutest thing. Here are some pics. Hopefully these will hold everyone over til the weekend.

Home again

Yay! We just found out that she's recovering so well that we get to take her home today. Def a happy day for all 3 of us. :)

Recovery

Alex is doing well today. She is off the ventilator which is great news :) The nurses have stayed ahead of her pain and she has been happy (and sleepy) all day. Daddy got to feed her this morning and mommy is holding her right now as she naps. We couldn't be more happy. Here are a few photos I took today. I know some of you have been requesting more pics. Enjoy...
