Pigtails and Teeth!

That's right...Lucy is growing, growing!  Even her hair seems to be getting longer and I put her in a pair of 9-month pajamas tonight!  There really aren't too many 7-month olds that can sport such adorable pigtails!  And...she has her first 2 teeth just breaking through on the bottom of her little gums.

We had a urology appointment last week to check on her bladder to kidney reflux.  She laid very still on her back while she had an ultrasound of her bladder and very still on her tummy while they did the same to her kidneys.  The results looked much the same as previous ultrasounds - mild reflux that does not need to be treated at this point, but will continue to be monitored.  Another doctor we don't need to follow-up with for 6 months - Woo Hoo!

We have started the process to have her evaluated at a Feeding Clinic - who knew it would be such a process!  It's not something we can call and get an appointment with...we had to leave our information on a voicemail, wait to get a packet in the mail, fill out 20-something pages of paperwork and keep a food diary for her.  Then, we had to mail it back and now we are waiting for them to review her packet and call us to make an appointment.  Uffta!  At this rate, she'll be 2 year's old before she even gets an appointment!  However, if their up-front thoroughness is any indication, they will be great to work with and I am really looking forward to having an expert help us transition her off of her G-tube for good!

Overall, we are just enjoying the days with Lucy and marvel at her development - it seems that every day she learns something new and can't wait to share it with us.  We especially love trying to figure out what will make her give us a belly laugh (turn up the volume on this video if you want to hear it - so cute!)  She is such a joy to our family and such a good baby.  What a blessing!
