11 months

vee-11months-87

this month
has been a big one
for little vee.

she has gone from
a baby
to almost
a toddler
in a few weeks.

and
she had her
eye operation.

OPERATIONDAY

thank you all
for your
positive thoughts
and prayers.
the eye operation
went very well.
the parents
were more
traumatized
than vee.
she is always
a trooper.
she cries
very little
and charms
everyone
with her big smile
and easy-going nature.
the nurses
all called her
gentile.

POSTOP1

the day after surgery
she was almost
back to normal.
the most traumatic
thing for vee
was getting eyedrops
post-operation
three times a day.

POSTOP2

the improvement
is striking.
her eyes
are still not
perfectly aligned
but they are
much improved.
we hope they
will continue
to improve
now that they are
more aligned.

this month
vee was really
on
the
move...

she took her
first ferry ride
around lake neuchatel.
. . .

22 aout

and she became
a more active
crawler...
. . .

but really
she just wants to walk.
she gets
very frustrated
after a little while
when
she is sitting
and playing
quietly
in the middle
of our living room.

vee-12aout

she starts squawking
(grub calls it chirping)
and that means
she is ready
to get up
and walk!

she uses
her little cart:


(first day of using cart)

we often go down
to the lake
and let her
walk around
on the grass:



although
she is often
distracted.

when our friends
deb & maria
were in town
(more on that later)
vee took her
very first hike.
although
she slept
through most of it.

vee's 1st hike

as she becomes
more mobile
her personality
shows through
more and more.

she is moving
from
being our
cute & cuddly
baby vee
to
a little person
who has
definite likes
and dislikes
and places
she wants
to go!

. . . . . . . . . . .

every month
when i write
these updates
i realize
how fast
little vee
in changing.

each month
it is more fun
to watch her
discover her world.

  3. She's so lovely! So glad the surgery went well!

    Bises à toute la famille,

    P.S. J crawled at 10 months and walked at 15 months. They do it at their own pace. People kept telling us she should go to physical therapy, but now she climbs up all kinds of equipment at the playground that is for much bigger kids and is more dexterous than many of our friends' kids who walked months before she did.

  4. So glad the operation went well. Vee is such a cutie and is looking older and older! I still can't believe my 3-month old will be that big in not too long ...
