Piper Update
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Piper went in for her almost 5 month appointment. She was definitely all smiles and very pleasant for most of the visit. She weighed in at 17 pounds, 12 ounces and strentched to 23.5 inches long. I was excited to her these statistics until I plugged them into the baby growth charts. Piper remains in the 75-90th percentile for weight, but ranks below the 5th percentile for height. I guess she will follow in Bobbie's footsteps.
She is ready to begin solid foods and start eating from a spoon - that is if her mommy ever gets around to doing this.
I did attempt the spoon 2 weeks ago but she wasn't ready. We are thinking we will wait until we are in Florida next week. Less clothing to clean up after eating!
Piper is now up most of the day and enjoys a few catnaps of 20-30 minutes here and there. She will go in for a 1 hour nap around 5:30-6:30 which is perfect! This provide me with time to get the others ready for bed. And when all 3 are up to sleep, that is her cue to magically wake up and enjoy the evening with X and I.
She really is a great little lady and VERY happy. She travels up to LIJ this week for another Synagis shot which are hoping is her last.


We want to thank everyone for watching our family grow. We hope our children can bring a smile to your face just as you have to ours. Thank you for all of your support,love and true friendship.

Prayer for Daisy  (This prayer truly helped me when Daisy was in the hospital. I hope it can be used to help other families in need)

Gentle Jesus, stay beside your child Daisy Grace. Take away any pain, keep her safe, help her at this time, make her body strong and her heart glad. Thank you for your love which surrounds her always. Amen.

A Special Thank You

Our sincere appreciation goes out to everyone who has followed the path of our Precious little girl and is still following her progress into a little lady. Thinking back to June 2007, so much has taken place from a rocky start in the NICU, to a year of therapy, to watching Daisy grow and progress. We never forget how much love and support and care we received. All of the prayers, kindness, friendship, generousity, and thoughtfulness gave us the strength to face each day and focus on the moment. We only hope we can help provide enough love, support and strength to others going through similar situations. Thank you with all of our heart.
