Ashley's First Real Food

It was so much fun to feed her. She was lovin it. Aunt Leslie even got to share in this milestone over the phone...... Enjoy the video.... I think she says "All done" .......

Dad's House

Ok So the deal I spoke of on Oct 5th fell through. The buyers could not get the loan so we went back to the drawing board and put it back on the MLS listing. This past weekend we had several showings. My mom, Ashley and myself went down to the house to do a few things and bumped into a nice couple who were interested in the home. The made an offer on Monday. They do not want to close for 90 days which is bit longer than I would like. We are in the process of negotiations. I also received another offer by some one who viewed the house on Monday. This is a single guy who is also interested in keeping the dinning room set. He wants to close Dec 18 which is more reasonable. There is also another serious buyer viewing the home Thursday who likes the home, he has a 50 foot boat and is looking for deep water access. So, we told all the real estate agents that there are multiple offers and they need to have their best offers and contingencies on our desk Friday morning.

Our 4 Month Old Rock Star

Ashley is doing great. She is sleeping through the night great but now that we know how to roll over she wakes up up around 8:30 AM because she gets stuck in the corner of the crib and can't roll back over. Fun Stuff......

We went to the pediatrician this past week. She is now weighing in at 15 lbs and is 26 3/4 inches long.

We also have some great updates on her Brachial Plexus Injury and her Tortocollis. We went to Miami the last week of September to meet with the specialist who only deals with the Brachial Plexus. He did a nerve conduction test and some motor skills demos with her. The results are in that she has mild nerve damage and will not need any surgery. We will continue with Occupational Therapy once a month to watch her motor skills progress.

As for the Tortocollis, the lump is almost gone and she no longer carries the tilt. She is still tight on rotating her head all the way right. She saw a new therapist today since ours is on vacation. He said she looks wonderful and other than her rotation he wouldn't be able to tell that she had the Tortocollis. He said we are doing great. She has been advised to get a helmet to round her head. They said it is not bad and should only require 6-10 weeks. She was so tight for the last few months that her head position was a challenge to change. We will have an appointment next week her in West Palm for a consult and we will see where we go from there.

Mark is doing great with her and we are loving parenthood.......
