cranberries and push-ups

Here she is loving cranberries!





Ivey has really been working hard the past few weeks. Pushing-up takes alot of practice. She plugs right along with a smile on her face. Yet another task accomplished that most of us do every day without notice. Pretty amazing!

She is so beautiful!!! And, look at her up on all fours and crawling a bit!!! My heart is rejoicing for her!! She looks so happy in the video! Made me want to reach through the computer screen and tickle her sweet tummy, too!!

GO IVEY!!!
I was loving the video of her working so HARD, go girl!! :)
I know what you mean, we take SO many movements for granted...I am so proud of her, pretty girly in pink!
We set NEW milestones when we have a special little one, and I think we do a way bigger dance when they accomplish it!!! :)
Dancing for you...and Ivey of course!

And Sometimes Feeding Your Kiddo Looks Like This...

A simple sentence. No one said it to me in the beginning, but boy did that tube cause a lot of chaos. The NG tube graduated to the G-tube which morphed to a GJ- tube…. A brief history of Ivey's feeding tubes: *The NG tube was in place the first time I ever saw my daughter in the NICU.  My only memory of her without a feeding tube is them placing her in my arms immediately following her birth. *The G-tube, well, that is a story within itself.  That decision did not come lightly.  Another hole in her.  Another decision on our plate, but not really on our plate, it was apparent it was a medical necessity for her survival.  Literally to give her a chance to live.  A permanent decision.  A 5am panic attack in the Scottish Rite elevator that happened to coincide with Dr. Meyers arriving at the hospital at the same time as me....

I'll be honest, I was uncertain what life would look like once the boys left this home, once they had their own time, in their own personal sunshine. We found out quickly once Knox left for college his freshman year what that would look like. And then, when Walker left, we knew what life would feel like in their absence. There was too much space. Ivey felt it. We get many compliments about the relationship the boys and Ivey have with one another. Hints here and there that, maybe, Matt and I had some secret recipe to parenting a household with a child that is very medically complex and a very complex communicator. This is what I can tell you - there is no re...
