Growing and growing and growing

Bella was measured by her nutritionist this week and she's grown an inch over the past month. At this rate, she'll be taller than both her parents by age 5!

Since being out of the hospital, Bella got a touch of a stomach bug. She just can't win for losing. As a result, she's lost some weight and is again below the third percentile in weight. Mommy is going to whip out her bag of tricks, though, and get some meat on those bones again.

Of course through all of this, Bella remains Bella. She laughs and smiles like nothing is going on. She's making all sorts of noises and enjoys being mimicked. There is definitely no shortage of laughter in this household!

Well it's Thursday and we get to go home!!!! Bella is doing much better - eating, drinking, laughing, sitting up, and saying "ahhhh!" Her sodium level has stabilized and is back to normal. Of course she is off her schedule which means that she is wanting to play at 4 a.m.! Thanks to all who have kept her in your prayers.
