What a Month!

Addie is 10 months old now well 10 and 1/2 months. She has had a huge month! She had her surgery and 2 week follow-up appointment and everything is going great! She was cleared for all activities again starting last Friday. Today was her first therapy session after surgery. The therapist was very pleased with how her arm was doing and the scar today. We discussed the second EMG that we had done right before her surgery. The therapist said when she received a copy she thought it was a miracle in how much recovery and healing had happened in her arm. Even though there was surgery there was healing! God is good. Addie has also started to get much noisier. She blows bubbles with her mouth and has started to make syllable sounds like "baba." That was huge for her! She also has now learned to drink out of a sippy cup with a straw which was something her feeding therapist wanted us to try. Another big deal has been her eating. She was not really wanting to eat much baby food and so her feeding therapist recommended trying so other foods. It turns out Addie just wants foods with flavor! She is her daddy's girl! She can't eat the plain stuff. She enjoys chili,
baked potato soup, taco soup, and other flavorful things! She only has her two bottom teeth so she can only eat soft things or I will puree some of the soups so that it is easier for her to swallow and that seems to work. We are just so excited about each step that she has made and so thankful for what God has done already! It is such a blessing to be able to see His hand at work so consistently and to get small reminders of what He has done and promised to do. God has been so gracious to us in the way He is working. Lately He has been reminding He is not done yet with her Psalms 27:13 "I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Three verses I read yesterday said wait and wait with joy.  "Be earnest and unwearied and steadfast in your prayer [life], being both alert and intent in your praying with thanksgiving" Colossians 4:2.
