LULA'S LASHES

Zuzu had her petals, and Lula has her lashes.

I have been trying for months to take a photo that adequately captures how obscenely long and dark Lula's eyelashes are, and I may have finally done it (click on the photo to enlarge).

ROAN CAM

This is Roan, pacing back and forth like a neurotic zoo lion.  Or what we like to call "naptime".

SAMS TATTOOS

After 35 years of virgin skin, Sam finally got a tattoo. Two, in fact, and surprised us all by arriving home one day with his new ink.  They are on the insides of his arms, right where he holds the babies. Roan on the right, Lula on the left.

QUEENS, BOROUGH OF DREAMS

We took Lula to St. Mary's Hospital for Children, which is waaayyy the hell up in Queens, for a consultation for their feeding program. The program is 2 months of intensive feeding therapy 5 days a week from 8am-2pm.  It went great and she is now on the waiting list, which is so long she won't even get to the top until the end of the fall. 

Her problem isn't really eating per se, it's her digestive system, which processes food very, very slowly.  They are hoping that as she gets bigger and stronger she will outgrow the dismotility and low muscle tone and this will allow her to eat more and more by mouth.

She may not even need the program by then but if she does she will have a place there.  This is great, except it's so far away we may all have to move to Queens!

FEEDING THERAPY

Tomorrow we are going to St. Mary's Hospital for Children to meet with them to discuss Lula's feeding therapy.  Lula has been practicing with her spoon (note: crazy hairstyle courtesy of dad) so we'll see what they say.
