Springtime!

In keeping with my previous rants about the weather...we have been so thankful for the gorgeous weather over the past few days here in Minnesota!

Lucy loves to be outside - there is so much to look at and so much space to explore! 





She is also becoming VERY independent in regards to feeding herself.  Typically a baby her age would be able to handle table food and feed him/herself finger foods.  But since she only gets purees still, she has taken to feeding herself with a spoon.  She is pretty coordinated and does a great job - but it's still a pretty long, messy process for us (I frequently sport baby food of some form on my shirt and pants, too!)

On a positive note, her gagging has been much improved since her last dilatation.  Also, her leaking has been SOOOO much better since we've started using the homemade dressing all the time. We haven't had to change her dressing/clothes multiple times for quite a few days in a row - so nice!

We are heading to Duluth on Friday to celebrate our wedding anniversary, see my sister and enjoy a mini family vacation.  Traveling with a baby takes a lot of planning, but traveling with a baby who has a shunt and a feeding tube takes a LOT of planning - but we are up for it and looking forward to spending some quality family time together!
