Nora is now 6 weeks old, and is starting to smile. She loves being around her noisy sisters, and enjoys watching them play. My mom stayed for three weeks, and was such an amazing help. The week she left was a real eye opener. But we are all adjusting, and the girls are dealing with less one on one attention from me.
Elise had been on oxygen for about 5 weeks. We finally had to put her on steroids for a week, which got her well enough to come off oxygen, but didn't help tell us what was wrong. So she is going to have a CT of her chest Tuesday to hopefully give us some answers to what has been causing her to get sick over the past year. We got her a bike for Christmas, and she accidentally found where we were hiding it, so she has been enjoying her gift early. She really took to it quickly, and loves riding it. She played in a soccer league for children with special needs, and really did well. They get volunteers from UF to "buddy" up with the kids. Elise really enjoyed kicking the ball around. Also, Elise lost her first tooth today! One of her lower bottom teeth had been loose for a few days, and fell out today. We couldn't find it, and she didn't know where it went, so I'm thinking she swallowed it. The tooth fairy brought her a toy tonight, since she said she didn't want money.
Claire is growing like a weed. She idolizes Elise and does, and says, everything Elise does. It is hilarious.
