Hi All
I have posted some new photos but you will have to scroll down to the bottom of the page to view.There is one of me and Gracyn having her first shower, something that we done with Tegan whe he was Gracyn,s age.Also a photo of Gracyn&Jaden, Jaden was Gracyn,s room mate in Wellington Hospital and at the Hutt Secial Care unit.Its good to get the children together sometimes to compare there developement.
Gracyn is now 13lb7oz (6214grms)and rapidly growing out of her premy clothes.We have had a small set back as a few tests have proven that Gracyn has mild hearing loss, more so in the left ear than in the right.We had a meeting with the Hearing development officer last week and she seems to think that with the correct training and stimulation this will not effect her speach.Gracyn has another test in the middle of August to determine wheather she will need hearing aids.Its a good thing that we have cought onto this at this early stage of her life.The out look is good and the statistics say the 95% of these cases the children end up living a normal life.Just another hurdle to get over for the Reid family. We sure can think ourselve,s lucky if this is all that is wrong with our wee Gracyn.
Today Gracyn is trying some baby rice for the first time, another one of those "FIRSTS" to add to the list, she seems to be enjoying it too.

HI

Gracyn was seven months old yesterday, her corrected age is 3 months, She is now 13lbs (5940grms) and growing at a rapid rate, 2 cm in 2 weeks. We had a visit from Child Developement Service and the outcome was that she is age appropriate with her developement and there is no need for on going therapy intervention. So not a bad report card for my wee Gracyn. She is full of smiles and can manage to wriggle herself off her playmat with ease.
I spent 4 nites away in the Hawkes Bay for work (something i am not that keen on)only to come back to realise that Gracyn has found her voice. She is very vocal chatting to herself and having big conversations with me, I,m sure there s an AAARR GOOO In there sometimes. I have to make another trip to the Taranaki this week so i better take the keys for the Dodge with me because she will probably be driving by the time i get home.Gracyn sure like,s doing things in a hurry she is even trying to stand, pushing her body weight with ease and is quite happy to give it a go. i keep telling her to slowdown a bit and not to try and do everything before she is one, which is not that far away, hard to believe aye!!.

more soon

Hi all

All is well at home with Gracyn now 11lb9oz, 5397grm.She is just a bundle of joy at the moment and being well behaved. I am still trying to catch the gooey smiles on camera for all to see as she is sooo cute. I never leave for work without getting one and always get a big smile when i get home.We now only get fortnightly visits from the plunket nurse,she had to make a second visit this week as she felt mean having to wake Gracyn.
Angela is coping well and Tegan just loves his little sister to bits and enjoys taking on important jobs like feeding her and helping with bath time. i,ll post some new photos this weekend of my big chubba chub!!

Have a good weekend

Steve,Ange,Tegan,Gracyn
