[six months old] :: and :: three weeks post op

 
I can hardly believe Leighton is six months old already!!  She is such a sweet happy baby and will greet you with the biggest slobbery little smile and happy blue eyes any time she sees you.  She really is such a sweetheart and HAPPY! She's definitely a mama's girl and doesn't like it very much if I leave the room.  She loves to be snuggled and chews on anything and everything.  She has her two bottom teeth now and seems to be working on getting a couple more.  She is super interactive and loves to play and "talk".  She loves to play patty-cake and watch me and Jackobi dance silly for her.  Last week the weather was so beautiful, we were able to take her outside for a little bit and she absolutely loved it.  So curious and excited. She has found her toes and loves to play with them and chew on her feet when she can get them to her mouth.  She is growing so well and is towards the top of the charts in both height and weight. She loves her cheeks kissed and tummy tickled.
 
Yesterday was her post-op appointment in SLC and it went really well.  Her EKG and chest x-ray came back good and things seem to be healing nicely.  We monitored her for a bit both on and off her oxygen and her saturation levels are still on the low end, too low without her oxygen so we will be sporting her oxygen for at least another month.  She was sat'ing in the low 70's off her oxygen and we want her in the mid 80's.  So hopefully after another month we'll be able to kick the oxygen tank just in time for summer! :)  She no longer has to be on a constant "flow" of o2 which is nice.  We are able to take her off for an hour if we want to go outside "cordless" or take a quick ride in the car, so that's nice!  Yesterday she was able to have her first real bath since surgery (her incision has healed) and were able to do it without her oxygen on, so that was a treat!

We are still seeing so many blessings in her recovery and continued health, she is truly a miracle!
