Doctor's Visit and Cake Fun

Great News from the Doctor
We went in for a weight and lung check and found out that Zoe has gained back the weight she lost (and then some!) and is now 8.47kg (18lbs 10oz). And even better news- her lungs sounded "great" and "clear." So we are definitely celebrating tonight!

Great News from the Opthomologist on Monday
More great news to share- Zoe's opthomologist on Monday was very pleased with her vision development. He feels that her visual development is now on the same level as her overall development. So, she still has vision loss and her vision is still delayed for her age, but she is doing really well. She will continue to wear her glasses and do vision therapy. Both seem to be really helping.

Videos/Photos from Christmas
We are working on picking which photos and videos to post but in the mean time we wanted to share all the good news. We will be posting photos from Christmas soon. For now, here are some cute ones of her with cake.

Fun with Mommy's Birthday Cake
Last year, Zoe did not show much interest in her birthday cake. She was not self feeding at all and was not using her hands as much. Last week, Genevieve had her birthday and put her cake on Zoe's tray. Zoe immediately smashed her hands into the cake, then her face, and then threw it on the floor. We were so excited!!!! Here are some pictures of her enjoying the cake.


You can see that left hand is ready to drop the cake on the floor. She is eating with a whole lot of attitude these days....we love it!


Zoe still needs a little guidance in getting the food into her mouth but she is getting there.
