new feeding tube




six months have gone by since our little girl had her feeding tube put in. brooklyn has come such a long way since then! she now eats EVERYTHING orally, and only receives tube feedings overnight to help her get all of her required fluids. like her mama, she doesn't like the taste of milk and would prefer anything else! because of this, and to get her through her first winter sick season successfully, she had a different tube inserted into her belly yesterday. this is a smaller tube, and one that doesn't stick out as much - yay! we call it her big girl tube, and are hopeful that she will be tube free in the spring!

here is a photo of her in her adorable little hospital gown!!

here comes santa claus, here comes santa claus...

We visited some friends in Marblehead this weekend and we were so lucky to be there that day because SANTA CLAUS came to their house!!! What are the chances?



Brooklyn also helped us pick her first Christmas tree! She did an excellent job. She also opted to stay with the tree during the ride home:

brooklyn's best friend.

the girls had a little play date last night. we might have to steal riely and have her come live with us because she is the second cutest baby EVER. riley tried to teach brooklyn how to use her inside voice, but as you will see, brooklyn would have none of it!
