Today we took Mia to the pediatrician for her 18 month check up. She thought Mia looked great. She's gotten a little bit longer, she's now 30.5 inches, and she weighed in at 19 pounds 8 ounces. She was pleased with how her incision looks and it continues to heal nicely. Thank you for praying for no infections! We're not out of the woods yet, but we are encouraged that her incision site continues to heal so well.

We've turned a corner on feeding also. Not feeding more, just feeding differently. She now does fine with pieces of pasta in her food and she has started to self feed! Yay! She will now bring food to her mouth and she likes to taste Ritz crackers. She does just fine with pieces of banana also, so I am so encouraged by this. Pray that she would continue to feed better and be able to eat bigger solid pieces.

The car ride to and from the pediatrician wasn't her favorite, and we managed to get there without tears, but had a few tears on the way home, so I know her bum is still sore, but it's getting better. Pray that riding in her carseat would get better real quick as we are going to start back up with therapy in a few days.
