Ashlyn has been doing very well the past few weeks and seems to have turned a corner with respect to her eating. We are officially no longer using the g-tube for feeds and she is gulping down all of her bottles (without aspirating!). She is not exactly excited about eating solids yet, but we are working on finding a combination of foods that she likes. So far, bananas seem to be the key ingredient. She weighed 5.85 kg (about 13 pounds, 3 ounces) at her last weigh-in and she has passed both her recent vision and hearing screenings. She still is delayed with her gross motor skills, but she is progressing so nicely that I am not concerned at this point. She is such a happy baby and is quick to give out the big belly laughs that we love to hear. She has an appointment later this week to see if there is any change to her paralyzed left vocal chord, but her sounds have not made any improvement, so I am not overly hopeful that there is any recovery. She is a great sleeper, just like her big sister, and has no problems sleeping 10 hours at night.

How come they look so much bigger than the last post?!? Its only been a couple of weeks!! They are really beautiful and growing up so quickly now!!
10 hours ?!? That's great Mars - I hope that means that you are managing to get a little more sleep these days. They are the most adorable babies and I can imagine how fun everyday is to see the progress they are making :)
