Today marks Grace's 4 month birthday. It is hard to believe she is 4 months already and that we are approaching her first Thanksgiving. She is startng to play more and more in her exersaucer and is very close to rolling over. On Wednesday we take her in for her 4 month check up and some more shots. Here is her monthly photo today with Pooh and shock of shocks I caught her in a smile.
Here is another photo I got of her smiling a day or two after her last surgery. It is so exciting to finally catch her smile on camera - it's the small things in life.
Grace is also starting to drool like crazy and is constantly eating her fist.We have even seen sightings of her sucking her thumb. Grandma G caught it on camera so as soon as I have that photo I will share it here.
We went for our one week post-op appointment recently with Dr. Oliver and he says all is looking good so far. We get a break from seeing him for about 3 weeks, which is nice. We now have to patch her good (left) eye to get her to use her right eye. She only sees light in that eye right now and nothing is in focus since she doesn't have a lense right now. We have tried the patching a couple of times and she has made it about 5 minutes so far. She gets pretty upset that she can't see everything. Grace is a trooper though and did her best to look around and stare at the light. Hopefully as we continue to patch she will get used to is and last longer and longer. The cutest thing though was when I took the patch off of her eye the first time she was pretty mad at that point and had both eyes closed tight - I told her to open her eyes a few times and when she did and realized she could see everything again she gave me a huge smile. It was so sweet and made me even more thankful that she at least has the one good eye.
That is all for now. Annie
