Meladee is 15 months

Miss Meladee is 15 months old and here is her picture.  She is growing up so fast and has changed since her year old pictures.

Meladee is catching up!!

As of this last weekend Meladee is now crawling, I mean the real crawling.  Tonight she crawled from the living room to the bathroom for her bath.  She also now waves and says "bye" when someone waves. This has been going on for about a week and she is also pulling her self up to everything.  Her PT will be shocked to see her do this in two weeks when she comes back.  I see more of what she does since I am at work all day.  So proud of my baby girl!

It has come to my attention that......

Many people are still asking me why Meladee doesn't crawel, why she doesn't walk already or why this or that.  It seems I need to remind some people that Meladee did have open heart surgery 6 months ago and that she had 6 to 8 weeks where she couldn't be on her stomach and we had to limit her in what she could do.  And because of this she has had to build her trunk muscles back up.  She is now army craweling and trying to sit up on her own and will take steps if we hold her hands.  But Meladee is Meladee and she is doing things that some babies don't do at her again such as being completely off a bottle and not using a binky, and feeding herself and not drinking formula, so all I am asking is to just remember she has a little challange where other babies don't and please don't judge her.

And here they are......

And now I get to decide which one I want to print in a 20x30 picture!

Meladee is ONE!!

After what has been an amazing year for Meladee she is now 1!!  Hard to believe that it has been a year since she was born.  Let alone it has been 5 months since she had Open Heart Surgery.  As of August 3rd, 2012 she is now 18lbs 10 ozs and 30 inches long.  Dr. Likes, Meladee's cardiologist says that Meladee plays by her own set of rules and not the medical set of rules. 

My mom and I took Meladee to have professional outdoor pictures of her down.  I am including 3 sneek peeks of those in this blog.  I get the rest in a little over a week and a half.  We had some other pictures done as well.

Here a few that I had done at Picture People, being that I have 30 pictures to chose from I am only going to put a few on here.

New Pictures

Meladee's cousin Kyle came to visit her this weekend and she feel in love with him.  Then today I gave her an Oreo cookie and she loves those as well.  There is pictures of her on the 4th of July and her playing with her IPad.

ENT Apppointment

So, Meladee's appointment today was kind of a waste of time.  After being referred to Puget Sound ENT we are getting referred back to Children's Hospital to their ENT clinic because I really don't think the doctor was comfortable in handling her because of her having to have medication before they do the procdure.  So I will call this week to get that appointment scheduled.
