Sleep Study number 2

We just came back from the hospital where Amelia had her second sleep study. First one was when she was just four months old, back in May. It showed some apneas, obstructive and central as well so everybody was curious to see how it improved since the decompression surgery in July. It was her first sleep study after the surgery. So far we know that her oxygen intake improved significantly which is a great news! The study was again - great experience. Amelia was very brave and did not complain very much! Just a little. We got very nice and caring sleep lab technician, Rhonda, actually the one we met during last sleep study, so we felt very confident and comfortable.
Amelia fell asleep even before she got the wires on her head! She did not care that it was a hospital room, new strange place.....
After Rhonda attached all the wires and wrapped her head, we were even able to make her smile (with a little help of her favorite toy :-). As you can notice, I again asked for the "adult" bed so Amelia did not have to sleep alone in that scary crated crib! It made the world of difference!


She briefly woke up few times during the night, but fell asleep with no problems. Anyway, it is so good to be back home!!!!! Now it is time to wait for the results and it takes about 4 weeks! Eternity! I will keep you posted.

Halloween Memoirs

I have tons of Halloween pictures from this year and previous two. Ever since we have kids Halloween is one of our favorite holidays! The magic, the costumes, a lot of orange color! I will most definitely make a smilebox album in the near future but now a little treat- Ollie and Ami in exactly the same outfit and photo setting!

Ami, Halloween 2009, 9 months old and Ollie, Halloween 2007, 3 months old. Who is Who????

Amelia visited her best friend


Amelia just returned from her first trip to Baltimore. She did extremely well and was laughing all the time! She was so excited to visit her "twin sister" Ivy. Girls got together second time and played nicely together. Somebody at the museum asked us if they were twins and Ami and Ivy were not even dressed in the same outfits yet!
Ivy's parents were so kind to host our entire family for the extended weekend and we all had a terrific time!


We coordinated the outfits again and had a cute photo session!

But wait! There is three of us now! We got together with another cutie pie - Tessa, just 2 months younger Little Princess! What a bundle of joy...... So hard to tell them apart!



















We were also extremely pleased to meet one little gentleman - Nathan! Mom had to hold him as he was running away from the girls! Too much sweetness can be dangerous!

Busy October


Starting Monday Ami had doctors appointments almost every day! But they were all good, routine appointments. Her neurosurgeon was very happy with the healing progress, and orthopedic surgeon confirmed what you all have been saying - Amelia does not need any equipment gimmicks! What a relief...
A good news is that Amelia finally turned into a good eater after almost 2 months since introducing solid foods. She now opens her mouth wide and pretends chewing. The amount of mess accompanying the feeding is also considerably lower :-)
And this is our Pediatrician with Ollie and Ami. She is getting married tomorrow. Best Wishes our Dr. Diana!
