Baby Rose

     This has been a very productive week for Bella. Monday potty training began and she has done very well. Also this week she got to play with a new friend...baby Rose. Rose is just 8 weeks old and is the granddaughter of my sweet friend, Shelly, and Bella has fallen in love with her! She got to hold her and talk to her and help her hold her binky. She thinks Rose is pretty special! Bella brought over Blue Bear and her green paper from her Clinic appointment to share with Rose! She talked about her all afternoon! Bella says she is a big sister now! Thank you Hannah for sharing your precious baby with her!

    This week Bella also had a Clinic appointment. She did so good. Her blood oxygen is at 97%, she is now 36 inches tall and her weight is still 31.46 lbs.  They took blood (she didn't shed a tear!) to test her vitamin levels to be sure she is still absorbing vitamins properly. We should get the results in a few days.  Sputum cultures are never fun to obtain, so a little tag team worked to get what they needed.  Bella got a "green" sheet (which means a great exam) from the doctor. She had to "read" it to us all in her doctor voice. Bella was given "Blue Bear" for being good.  She never ceases to amaze me. She blew kisses to all the nurses, techs, and Dr. Walters. Such a sweetheart.

Checking out a couple new books!

For some reason she decided to scratch my head!

Blue Bear, Rose and Bella!
