Brooklyn's Count Down to the Button Be Gone

Just two and a half more days and the button will be gone!! We can hardly wait. Friday is the day we get the button out. This week seems to be moving so slow. I am so happy I can't believe it is now just a couple days away. We have been counting down the days since she stopped using the button. We are just so thankful. Here are some pictures of her adventures with food. We have recently added carrots and squash to her diet. She seems to like them both.

 

Carrots are yummy!!!

 Who me?

Eating is fun.

Brooklyn's first tea party. I love to have tea parties and this year Brooklyn got to participate too!!

Here are some pics from the month of August and the first few days of September. August was a busy month. We had lots of doctor appointments and then Matthew and I had to get ready to head back to work. Brooklyn turned 9 months old on the 24th. It is so hard to believe she is that old. Her adjusted age is 6 months. Thankfully the OT said she is on track developmentally for her adjusted age so she is doing well. She can roll from her back to her tummy and from her tummy to her back. She can also push up on her arms all the way up. She can now sit up with her hands on the floor and use one hand to balance and the other one to grab a toy. She is eating oatmeal, peas, and green beans twice a day. Her formula was increased to 180mls per bottle. We no longer have to feed her at midnight. She can just get all of her food during the day now. She is now 26 inches long and as of August 15th she was 15 lbs and 6 ozs. so by now she is probably 16 pounds. She got a clean bill of health at her last checkup with the Pedi. She doesn't have to go back until her first birthday. We saw the surgeon and he said Brooklyn could get the g- button out on September 16th since she hasn't had to use it since July. We are so thankful and can't wait to get the button out. She has started to grab it alot more. I'm sure she wonders what it is there for. Brooklyn has been using her high chair for her solid food. She likes to sit in it like a big girl. She has also recently gotten an exersaucer. She loves to play in it. The month of August was hard because I had to leave Brooklyn to go back to work. Thankfully Mimi is able to take care of her at our house so it makes it a bit more bearable.  Well, we have a checkup at the end of this month with the pulmonologist and the cardiologist. Hopefully we will have great reports from them as well.
