Hello again

Can you believe it? 7 months today!!!! 27/05/08

The time is flying by with our busy lives and this little munchkin taking up so much of our time and our hearts!

Not a lot has changed since the last update other than the fact that Ashling is getting stronger and she doesn't seem to be getting sick near as often anymore. Thank God for that cause our house is destroyed. I really feel for other parents with refluxy babies cause the carpet is never the same again!

Besides that, Ashling is giggling sometimes (a bit like a Beavis and Butthead type of giggle but it's a giggle all the same - see the video attached for evidence! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UhqZcSivMs). She absolutely LOVED having her Grandparents out from Ireland and has been sulking since they left to be honest. She really enjoyed all the love and extra attention that she got from them and we're not getting half as many smiles since they returned to Ireland. I'm sure she'll perk up again in a few days. We had a fantastic time with them. They spent 4 weeks with us and we did a bit of travelling with them and Ashling was very well behaved; she didn't give us any cheek along the way!

While on our holiday, we discovered that, like her Mammy, Ashling loves spa baths! There was one in the place we were staying in Taupo and she had great fun in it. See the other video attached and watch her kick those legs. Please ignore my nudity (Yeah right!) See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEJ_FwZPoHU

Otherwise, same ole same ole, she's not making much progress with her feeding, and she is still on oxygen and wearing splints on her legs for about 23 hours a day. She's in great form though. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtJl9-cF20s

Over and out. Thanks for continuing this journey with us. xxxxx
