Update on dr visits

Since our last post, Adeline has been to the cardiologist, had a CT scan and been to the Orthotist. Her cardiology report was better than we expected. Her cardiologist was VERY please with her progress. He decided to start decreasing her meds slowly to see how she reacts. So far she has done fine with the new dosage. In a week and a half we will decrease her meds again, so be thinking of us!
Adeline's CT scan showed normal brain growth/development with all sutures still open (which is what we expected) a normal 4 month old baby brain! We were then referred to the dr who will fit her for the helmet to fit her flat spot. That dr sent us to the company in Nashville who actually makes the helmet. Adeline was casted/molded for her helmet yesterday by the orthotist. She did great during the casting process and only started to cry at the end. She will receive her helmet on Feb 4th. She will wear it 23 hours a day for about 4 months. Oh and for all of you who know me and pink...well we got a pink helmet for miss priss!
Adeline turned 5 months old yesterday. She is getting bigger by the day. She loves to play with her toys now and reach for things...mommy's hair, toys, whatever is in her reach!
Adeline will be baptized on Sunday Feb 3rd, so we will post more at that time.

Fun with food!

Happy New Year!

A lot has happened since the last post. Adeline 'graduated' from physical therapy before Christmas. She is doing fantastic rotating her head and gets better every day.

Adeline enjoyed her first Christmas many times this year. She had her first Christmas in Nashville with mommy and daddy. Santa brought her some toys, books, clothes and her first baby doll. Adeline's Christmas continued in Richmond. She had Christmas with her nanny and granny, then with her great grandma, grandpa and meme, great aunt and uncle and aunt Lanie and uncle Adam. She got even more toys, a computer game, clothes, an exersaucer, a walker and special beach chair. Adeline's final Christmas was in Knoxville with grammy, granddaddy, uncle Chris, aunt Christy and cousin Catie. She got the Little People Farm and Noah's Ark, a rocking horse and books.

Adeline then got to stay with her grammy and granddaddy in Knoxville for 2 nights while mommy and daddy went to Biltmore to celebrate mommy's 30th birthday. She of course loved staying with them and was just a little spoiled once we got back to Nashville!

Adeline turned 4 months old right before Christmas. She continues to 'talk', laugh, smile, kick those chubby legs and is trying to roll over more every day. her pediatrician said she is doing great. She now weighs 12 pounds 14 ounces and started the new year off with solid food. So far she has had rice and oatmeal cereal as well as squash, sweet potatoes, apple sauce, peaches and carrots. Sweet potatoes seem to be her favorite so far, but she LOVES it all! Be looking for a special food video on her blog soon!!

Adeline will go to the cardiologist this week for a check up. She has been doing great on her meds, so we expect a great report. She also gets a CT scan this week in preparation for a helmet to fix her head shape. We will report more on both of these later.

Our sweet little Adeline is such a blessing in our life. We enjoy sharing her adventures with you...stay tuned!
