Dinosaurs, Jumparoo, and real food!



sisters just being silly

Soo much going on lately that it's hard to keep track. Here are some pictures of Colleen enjoying a dinosaur puppet show at the park. We didn't stay too long as it didn't keep her attention and it was almost 90 degrees.

We met with Brighit's specialists today about starting her on solids. Since the 7th of July she has gained 14 oz and has grown 3/4 of an inch!!! She is definitely going to be able to keep up with Colleen being that big! Brighit tried some rice cereal and some bananas tonight at dinner. She loved the bananas and does a really great job of opening her mouth for the spoon. She definitely feels like a big girl eating with a spoon.We also had to get Brighit a new Jumparoo as the one Colleen had wouldn't work anymore. She must have worn it out! It is a little hard to use at first but as she gets bigger it will be great fun for her


Not much else going on. Have a great day!

Such a big girl!

Ok, so I don't have any pictures to show (hopefully I will feel like doing that soon) but just wanted to let everyone know Brighit's stats. Colleen at 4 months weighed 13 lbs 13 oz and was 23 7/8 inches long. Today Brighit weighed 14 lbs 2 oz and is 25 inches long. She is between 50 and 75 percentile in each category and Colleen has always been between 25 and 50 percentile..is amazing how each child can be soo different!  The dr is very happy with all the things that she is doing and how strong she is. We are truely blessed to have been able to catch her PKU so early so that she will have the best chance at a normal life. Granted she will have to be eating different foods, but hopefully we will be able to make each meal match ours with foods that she can eat. Like when we have spaghetti she can have low protein spaghetti..yes, there is protein in spaghetti!! She won't notice that difference for a couple of years though.  Night night everyone!

Quickie!

The girls are doing great! We've been busy doing all sorts of things! Colleen is a great big sister and gets smarter every day. She's doing a little bit of potty training and it's slow going but she is enjoying it. Brighit slept through the night 4 times last week and we go tomorrow for her 4 month check-up! I'll post some pics and her stats tomorrow (hopefully). Night Night
