Happy Halloween!

Cayla says, "Boo! Ha Ha Ha!"

Amazing

The pictures really do say a thousand words

If you look carefully at the pictures below and then go back to some pre-surgery pictures you will be amazed. I can't believe that these were taken 3 weeks post op. She is and always has been gorgeous. I am so amazed that she looks so good. If you look carefully at the second and third pictures you can see a tiny spot on her eyebrow where the bone is raised. That one little spot is my only concern.

Thanks for all the prayers as always. Hope you enjoy the pics. Hopefully you will be able to see her Halloween costume pics here soon.

Thanks as always to Melissa for the awesome photos.

Cayla's 6 Month Pictures!

Here are Cayla's 6 month pictures. Enjoy!

Sorry for not posting

Cayla at 6 months

Melissa came over and took pictures on the 4th. Sorry they are not posted yet, she has been busy. But I hope to see them here soon. We are going to a baby costume party today. I will try to post pictures as soon as I get home. Try being the operative word. It will depend on how everyone is doing after partying.

Cayla had her 6 mo. checkup on the 9th. It was fine. She did much better with the shots this time. She does have a spot on her right eyebrow that we are going to watch. It is a bony spot. I am trying hard not to be concerned about it.

She weighs 14.6 lbs and is 25.5 inches long. She is in the 40th percentile for height, 25th for weight and less than three for her head. Her head is still small--only 39.8 cm around. But her dad has a very small head too, so I guess that is genetic.

She is not crawling or sitting up yet, but is very talkative. Says dada alot. I am trying to convince her to say mama, but no luck.

Well, Zane is trying to kill her--at least it sounds like it. So I best go. Watch for pictures soon.

Hello what are you thinking

Sorry for the double post

When I hit post this and then refresh the other update published too. Sorry about that. I guess the computer is playing tricks on me. Ugg.

Have a great week.

Update

Back on Track

I tried to blog an update the other night, but it never posted. Sorry for the long delay.

Cayla had her 2 week post op check up the other day and it was great. The neurosurgeon looked at her for a few seconds and said she was perfect. "The most beautiful baby ever." I totally agreed with that sentiment. He said he couldn't believe how good she looked and I said, wait a minute you told me she would look like this. I think he was just amazed at how well she is doing already. Hardly any swelling and one little bruise--and that is all gone already. I think, no make that know that it is because she was prayed for.

She went back to day care and is in a pretty good routine. She didn't lose any of her skills, in fact I think she leaped ahead in some areas. It is so amazing to see how well she holds her head up now and that it doesn't tilt to the side. It is also so cool for me to see her actually turn her head. She is a real trooper.

I am a little concerned about a knot on her right eyebrow. Of course I am probably just hyper sensitive. I just don't want the resorbable stuff to have become displaced. No more surgery for my baby. Other than that she looks like a normal baby. I am so glad. It was very traumatic for me.

Cayla will never know her dad and that makes me sad. She says da da a lot and it sounds so sweet, but he will never hear it. I am glad she has a Heavenly Father, but sometimes we need our earthly Daddy. She loves to reach up and touch your face. It is so sweet and just another thing he will never experience. If she doesn't think you are paying attention to her, she will just put both hands on your face, like a big girl saying hey look at me.

She had sweet potatoes today and liked them. So now she has had fruit and veggies and cereal. I can't believe how she is growing. In three days she will be 6 months old. Man how time flies. I am sure we will post 6 mon. photos soon. Until then, thanks for the prayers and well wishes.
