Tettletime: Fun on the Weekends

Abby has been doing pretty well lately and we have enjoyed the last few weeks with our big girl. We have been hesitant to get her out around other kids because it's cold and flu season so we have been somewhat isolated. She got over whatever bug she had at the first of the year and we aren't exactly ready to risk her getting sick again any time soon. At the same time, the weather the last few weeks has been unseasonably warm so we have been able take her outdoors. We have been taking Abby to the park down the road which is great because it isn't too busy with lots of kiddos. She seems to enjoy being outside and we try to get her out of the house whenever we can.

With all of her surgeries she has been behind in some areas of development and we are working to catch her up the best we can. She is currently doing well with sitting up on her own with no assistance, rolling over, and occasionally getting after solid foods when we attempt them. She has physical therapy once a week, an occupational therapist comes twice a month to help work on feeding, and a dietician comes once a month to check her growth. Abby is 11 months old now and she is currently 28-5/8" tall and 18lb and 6 oz. Her latest direct bilirubin level was 1 and that is fantastic. Her first birthday is coming up and we are really looking forward to celebrating her big day. Here are a few photos of the last few weeks.
