Olivia Post Surgery (and some from before)

Well, it's been a very good week post surgery for our little one.  She is recovering so well!  We are keeping a close eye on her incisions since the fear of infection is worse for her with no spleen.  One looks a little red, but we're watching it closely.  We haven't left the house since coming home - just to be safe.

We have changed the way we give her pedisure and you know what - we haven't really had a throw up since coming home.  YAY!!!  We don't want to get too excited, but we are so thankful.  We don't know if it's the surgery, the new way of giving her milk (smaller amounts more often) or a combination of both, but we are indeed thankful!

She is 19 lbs now too :).  She is also outgrowing ALL of her 9 month outfits.  We are starting to buy 18 month clothes - I can't believe it!!  Our little pumkin is getting so big!!!

Here are 2 pictures of Olivia since coming home.

Here are some pictures we took last month when my sister was in town.  Olivia was not happy about the photo shoot! :)



She stopped crying as soon as she got to stop posing, but she definitely didn't want to pose on this day.



We couldn't get the sweet smile she gives right after we both kiss her cheeks, but it is precious!  You can almost see it here ;)

    Oh, my goodness. She has changed so much, I almost didn't recognize her. She is growing so much. You are an amazing mother Julie!
