I went to the doctor again on Friday and my surgeon is happy with how I am growing. I am 11 pounds now. He is allowing mommy and daddy to give me 35cc's in my bottle. Thank goodness, I was getting very angry and screaming when my bottle was empty. Hopefully this will make me feel fuller. I am also at 21cc's per hour through my feeding tube. That puts me at 92% of my feeding goal. They are not decreasing the amount of TPN I get at this point until after I reach goal. The plan is to increase 1 cc every week. I know by the time I reach my goal, it will have increased because I continue to gain week. . . . they are never happy.
I had some special visitors this weekend. Daddy's Uncle Bart came and visited from Idaho. I worked my charm and got another fan of my smile. I saw my Great Grandma Margaret and Grandpa Marty too.
I celebrated my first Valentine's Day. Mommy and Daddy bought me a Jumperoo. I was having fun. I can't quite touch the ground, but I enjoy playing with the toys and watching the lights. I also was standing up on the couch by myself. I really liked being able to look around on my own.
Mommy was excited because she put me down for my first official nap. I guess it was the first time she put me down when I was awake and I feel asleep on my own. It didn't last long though, I only stayed asleep for about 20 minutes.
I got my immuniztons on Wednesday and I got kind of sick from them. I had a temperature a few days (100 on Friday) and was fussy. I am feeling better now though.
I wanted to wish all my Family and Friends a Happy Valentine's Day. I love you all. Thank you for the continued support and prayers. I feel so loved. Mommy and Daddy appreciate all the e-mails, phone calls and blog comments.

What a wonderful smile. So good to see her playing in the bouncer and giving mom and dad a small break from being the entertainment :)
How can you not fall in love with a smile like that? She's beautiful. So curious about all of her toys. It's great to see how amazing she's doing. She definitely is going to give you a run for your money when she gets older because she's so strong.
