Update on Lil Bean

Yesterday,I took Jelly Bean (our lil foster) back to Children's to see one of her surgeons. Her doctor was very pleased with Bean's progress. She was so surprised to see her without the NG tube. Noone ever expected her to turn around so quickly,but she has. She is an amazing little girl and a miracle in every way. She is almost 7 months and getting better all the time.

Our next goal for little Bean is for her to master eating by spoon.

But here are a few things she has accomplished & amazed us with...

~~~~~~~~

1.She came off the feeding tube sooner than expected.

2.She has learned to roll over.

3.She learned to drink a bottle.

4.She learned to swallow.

5.She has learned to pick up her toys.

6.She has learned to put her passy in & then take it out.

7.She has learned to tummy crawl.

8.She has found her voice. She was a quiet baby while the NG tube was in, but now she makes all kinds of noises...it's just precious.

9.She has gained 3 pounds!!!!!

(This is very important for babies born with her condition.)

They often have failure to thrive issues.

Lil Bean is pretty much like any other baby, just smaller sized.

We call her our mini baby:)

She has came a looooooong ways in three months she's been here.

Way to go Jelly Bean!!!!!

Uncle Brent & Aunt Sandy are sooooo proud of you!!!!
