Picture Day!

In about an hour we are having an area photographer come to the house to hopefully capture some wonderful shots of Nina and us!
She is pretty fired up today!

In other news, Nina found her feet last week and it's been a love affair ever since!

Nina's first teeth picture!

Blowing Raspberries

Nina has been making these silly raspberries for about a week now. She thinks she's funny and we think it's just great stuff! She does it constantly now! This film was taken after she had mac and cheese and applesauce so I guess she was in a good mood. I know I would be after eating that!

PS. Our girl is weighing in at 16 pounds!

Closing out 2007

Oh 2007-
The first 6 months of the year were a whirlwind of joy, anticipation, fear, hopelessness, utter sadness, relief, and triumph. Our families, jobs and friends really stepped up with comfort, charity, and love.

These last 6 months of the year have just been incredible!
Nina is flourishing at home since her "release date" of 6-21-07 from Abington Hospital.
Nina is a happy and healthy 9 month old! We are living each day to the fullest with Nina--trying not to sweat the small stuff, and enjoying our blessing.

So goodbye 2007! We learned a lot this year. We took each day head on and pushed through. We miss you Georgia and Livia. You live on in Nina and in us. Your short, sweet lives made this family stronger, and we thank you and love you.

So come on 2008, we are ready for you!
Happy New Year!

Kissing Fools!

Still stomach issues with Nina, but she's eating fine and acting her normal happy self. Today we think she understands what kissing means. When asked she opens her mouth and presses against our nose, cheek, eyebrow... Her fever has been gone since last night and the diarrhea seems to be letting up a bit. Hopefully it was just a 48 hour thing.

Normal baby crapola

Yep besides getting the 3rd installment of our RSV shot, Nina has a stomach bug in which she spiked a 103.2 fever and went through lots and lots of diapers today! Also to add to the fun, she woke up to a nasty diaper rash yesterday morning and the second tooth is about to erupt!
Her breathing is fine and no congestion--- just intestinal---(knock on wood) so hopefully it will pass soon.
She is a crankpot from her double thigh dose of synagis this morning. She had a 100.7 fever this morning and Dr said to come in to get shot, and her mood has been downhill from here.
Tylenol is the greatest and is working so she's on the mend.
She weighed in at 15.9 but she could be losing some of that given the super diaper day.

Merry Christmas!

Here's one of Nina's presents!
Thanks Uncle B!
