Happy Holidays Blog Followers!

(all two of you ;)

Annie is now over 5 months old. She's interested in sitting up, and does so pretty well, but has yet to stop toppling over whenever she sees something that catches her eye. She's also just started solid foods...so far, just rice cereal, which she enjoys blowing all over Momma. Why swallow the food when it's so much more fun to spray it?

Annie's "capilary hemangioma" is holding it's own. Luckily it has not grown enough to warrant surgery or medication - however it is affecting her vision enough that the doctor is concerned about ablyopia (lazy eye). Her good eye has better vision, and at this point in her development, her brain may essentially shut down the "bad eye" in favor of the better vision. Soooo....of course that means we're onto another goofy treatment for poor Annabelle. For two hours each day, she now wears an eye patch over her good eye to encourage the bad eye to focus. Arrh Matey! That's right, we've got a pirate on our hands...well after halloween. ;) Cross your fingers this does the trick!

Merry Christmas Everyone, enjoy the holiday!
Love, Jeremy, Robyn, Annie, Sammy & Kitten
