Post Surgery

We are happy to report that Afton had her surgery this week to insert a feeding tube.  It was a long and hard week, but now that we are all home again things are going well.  She seems much more happy without the NG tube (nose).  She is still a little sore, but nothing that a little Tylenol cannot handle.  

Afton is eating all of her food through the bottle, and is starting to have a good appetite.  Her weight gain has been great throughout her first month home.  This week she has her 2 month appointment, which will be filled with not-so-fun shots.  She is a pretty happy baby in her most alert times.  She smiles a lot which is so cute.  She is also starting to play with her voice.  She tries so hard to talk that she usually ends up with the hiccups. Occasionally, she gets a little baby babble out of her mouth, which surprises her and makes her smile.  When in the hospital, we realized that Afton really loves a good bouncy chair.  Now that we have purchased one for at home, she spends most of her time there.
