Ella turns 21 (days)



Hooray for Ella! She moved to 100% nose prong breathing assistance today! No more CPAP.

Our little book worm enjoyed a couple of new books today from the awesome baby shower in Perryville this past weekend, "If You Give a Moose a Muffin" and "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". She really liked them both.

Food update - Ella will begin receiving a supplement in her feedings which is high in calories so she can grow quicker. History has shown that babies do not always react well to this supplement so she may have a belly ache, more spit up and undigested food. Right now she seems to be exerting her calories during her moments of exploration, which I captured today in the picture and short video clip. She loves to stretch and look around every opportunity she gets.
