31 for 21: Mommy clarification

Real quick, because I’m tired and really want some sleep.
~Braska has gone 7 weeks now without using the tube. That’s big!
~Braska’s button is not out for good.  It’s been returned to it’s proper location in the belly.
~The button had been looking loose, and instead of actually checking the balloon and/or adding water to make it more snug, we just kept saying we needed to do it.
~When she woke up from her nap yesterday, she emerged from her room button-less.  We scrambled to find it and then decided to try to put it back in even though it had likely been over an hour since it had been out. (The openings can often start closing within minutes.)
~We do not have a back-up button currently.  Just figured we’d make it through the remainder of our time with this one.
~The button was located and after quite a bit more effort than we’re used to exerting, Daddy got it back in. 
~I had resigned to the fact that the pressure was SERIOUSLY now on us to keep up this oral thing.  But then he managed to get it in. Whew.

I don’t intend to use the button, but she’s having surgery next week and then it’s winter with colds and such.  I’d prefer to hang onto that thing just in case for a little while longer.

So THANK YOU for all your kind words, and keep cheering for our girl!  But for now, we’re gonna keep little g-button right where he is. We hope.

A good fashion statement

I’ve heard people talk about a fa-shun stayt-munt .  Mommy told me how to spell it right so you would know what I mean…fashion statement.  Have you heard about this?  I’m not sure, but I think it’s when you put on pretty clothes and then tell someone something.  And I have something to tell you!! So here’s the pretty clothes… these were our Sunday pictures from yesterday.  Daddy took them while Mommy was getting ready for church. Me and KiKi were playing and we didn’t stand still to do good Sunday pictures.  But Daddy sneaked in some good ones. And now, here’s what I’ve got to tell you….. To celebrate my new pretty blog that we worked really hard on, me and Mommy are going to be giving some fun things away to somebody who likes to read our stories!  Do you like to get stuff for just reading my stories? And here’s how you can get stuff… You’re going to like it!  And there’s more than one thing!  1. Leave a comment on THIS POST TODAY (Monday) for an “early entry.”  (That mea

Mommy report: Exciting night!

Pardon the interruption into your regular evening, but we have something to share!! Daddy gets the credit for this one. He had her in the bed for cuddles and snuggles, and in a matter of 15 minutes, she's got it down pat!!! She's going around now saying, "Name! Braska! (Ba-ka)" I'm always hesitant to "brag" on her too much, for fear of offending or something to those who struggle... as that's a real thing in the world of delays...but I am so proud of this girl! More speech news soon, but I just had to throw this up and cheer for my girl!
