Doctors visit

Helena had her doctors appointment (Feb 24, 2011 / Nine month check-up). We got the results of her MRI. The doctor says that there are not signs of a stroke on her MRI so her left sided hemiplegia and speech delay is not the effects of a stroke in utero. For now we will continue with her habilitation and maybe get another MRI when she reaches a year to see if the brain growth on the left side is matching that of the right. Helena is delayed but coming along at her own pace!

Helena weighs 18 lbs 4 ounces is 28 inches long and her head is 44 cm. She is in the 31% for her age. She is a little one, but growing! She loves her baby rice and is starting to venture into other foods, but loves her bottle the best!

8 months old!

Helena is now 8 months old!
She is such a cute girl!

She is now able to sit up on her own, as long as her legs stay in the tri-pod shape to keep her balanced.

She loved playing with the puppy's eyes.

Her favorite toys are the things she isn't supposed to get into. She loves the kids card game with animals on them. The good thing is that she doesn't put most things in her mouth.

Very exciting!

Such a cutie!
She is 8 months old!
Wears size 3 diapers, size 6-9 months clothes.
This is Hawaii and not cold so we don't wear shoes yet!
