Mia keeps on doing really well. She's on her tummy alot, pushing up on her arms, which is only helping her get more strength. I feel like she really wants to crawl, she's just not there yet. We'll just keep on working on it though and wait for God's timing for crawling.

Mia keeps on eating "real" food well. This morning we tried pumpkin for the first time. Straight from the can...thank you Libby's. I put a bit of cinnamon in it because it was kind of bland and then of course the oil, we don't eat any food without extra oil added to it. She gobbled the pumpkin up. Our last feeding therapy our goal was to have her eat two meals a day of 2 ounces each and we are finally there. In fact, at her evening meal of avocado, rice cereal, formula, and oil...she finished that up and still wanted more, so she got peaches after that. And I would say it was about 3 ounces. I think we are transitioning to real food as we get closer to being a year old. I still want her to get as much formula as she'll take because I know that is good for her, but if she wants food on top of that, then great.

Please pray for us tomorrow as we'll be learning when her next surgery is. It makes us anxious because of the last surgery, but we continue to trust in God and know that He'll continue to take care of her through the next surgeries. Pray for right timing in the scheduling of that surgery.
