25 weeks

This is another too cute outfit given to Elise by her cousin Claire!
Grandma Marcie came over for a visit and read Elise her first Halloween book! This is Elise trying to read a book on her own, but first she has to figure out how to open the pages.
The parents of my childhood friend Leslie came over for a visit yesterday. They are new Grandparents as well to a little boy named Jack who is one month younger than Elise. This last week was very uneventful. I worked most of the week, and then Jason worked the end of the week. So we have pretty much been home-bodies all week. Elise is still on 400ml of Oxygen (that is just below 1/2 liter). And all her oral medicines are the same. She has been tolerating her Flolan increases really well each week. We will get to see how much she has gained on Wed. when our home health nurse comes by for her bi monthly weigh in. We are still working on her eating baby food. She is getting better about accepting the spoon in her mouth, but she isn't keen on swallowing the food, she would rather spit it out. But my mom reassured me that all babies spit it out at first. So we just keep trying each feed. She is becoming more aware of her surroundings each day, and is so fun to watch grow. We don't have anything big planned again this week, so it will be more of the same to report next week. I hope you all enjoy your week. Love, Kristin

Dancing Dad

If you listen closely you can hear Jason dancing in the background throwing toys around to make Elise laugh for the camera. Although she didn't laugh, it is still cute to watch her get excited.

Elise telling a story

This is Elise this last weekend telling us a story while exploring her hands. Sorry the video is in and out of focus, it was taken with our digital camera.
