Busy with Life

I can't believe it's been so long since we last posted!  Tahlia went for a follow-up with the plastic surgeon last week and he said he'd see us again when she's 4 or 5 years old. O.K.....she's healing up nicely and to help the scarring we should gently rub the site for 2 minutes every day for a while.  Seriously???  I don't think Tahlia got the message.  I'm happy if I get 10-15 seconds in.  One side of her lip is slightly higher, but with this rubbing it may help. And as she grow, it may change as well.

6 weeks post surgery
She's a very busy little girl.  She spends her days walking around the house singing, eating, reading, eating, giving the dogs treats each morning, eating, playing tea party.  She currently has 2 molars and 1 other tooth coming in, so there has been a lot of snuggling and carrying her around this week.  She's understanding tons of what we say now - she'll get her ball, take items to daddy, look for the cat.  She's not saying many more words, but is pointing to what she wants, or pulling us over to it.  She's put on 4lbs since November and now 2ft 5inches.  Her hair is growing, but isn't long enough for pig tails yet!  We're starting swim lessons in 2 weeks - we think Tahlia is going to love it!  We've also have started going to a play group in a town close by - great way to meet other mom's in the area and let Tahlia play with other kids!

I need to be picked up!!!
