Isabel is making slow progress. In order for her to have her feeding tube removed, Isabel has to be able to take all of her feedings for at least 24 hours. We will almost make it through our 8 feedings, but then she will decide that she is too tired to finish eating. We know that she is making progress because she is eating her entire feedings most of the time. Once she starts taking her feedings, her feeding tube will be removed and then we will be ready to go home!!!! YEA!!!!!
Isabel is sure starting to show her personality!!! She is little miss attitude. (I don't know where she gets that from!!!!) Joel went to visit her this morning around 7:45 and she was crying. As soon as Joel held her, she stopped crying. He then put her down and she started crying again...and she didn't stop until I got there to feed her at 10:30!!!!!! Needless to say, she didn't eat her entire bottle at that feeding...she was too tired!!!!!
Garrett is growing like a weed. Joel took him to the doctor while I was in the hospital. He now weighs 22.6 pounds!!!!! He is a MONSTER!!!!! 7 months old and 22.6 pounds----whew!!!!! It is amazing to see how he is growing and changing every day!!!! He eats baby food for lunch and dinner, he then has bottle in between those feedings. He is also able to entertain himself for longer periods of time. Yesterday we sat him in the floor with some of his toys and he played by himself for about 45 minutes!!! He amazes me everyday!!!!! We are anxious to bring Isabel home and see how Garrett reacts to her. I think he will stare at her in complete awe.
That is all the excitement that is going on with us right now.
Love to All!!!

Two grand babies so close together isn't life grand!!!!!!!!!!! Joel said it best just moments after his beautiful daugther was born, when he said," Garrett is sound asleep in his bed and he has already got a job he just doesn't know it."
We are so grateful to God that Isabel is doing so well! We can't wait to see her in little princess dresses at church! Love you guys! -Mandy
She'll be home before you know it and big brother will be showing her how to eat! ;-)
Thanks for the update! I'm glad Isabel is doing so well! And Garrett is a little monster. He and Zeke will have an eating contest later this year!
