Popsicles with Daddy!

Its been so much fun with Vaeh eating. We're trying so many different things & she's actually making some decent progress. All this without having seen the speech therapist since about 2 weeks before surgery! Vaeh still doesn't do very well with any texture, but again is making progress in this direction, too! Yesterday afternoon she ate a popcorn puff. Not once did she gag or wretch, so needless to say I was extatic! Had we tried this much even the day before surgery I surely would have done at least one load of laundry, if not two! Here's a clip from this past weekend where Daddy shared his popscicle! Hope he knows that he's just creating more competition for the popsicles! Check out the little ornery face & wiggle! Its a trademark Vaeh move! "Gotta love me!"

What an adorable video-she is such a cutie!! Yeah for popsicles!! Isn't it so exciting!

Ok-how do you get her to keep her cannulas on without tape? Or is there clear tape on her face?? Just wondering because we have to make sure Colin's are on real tight or else he takes them right off!!
