twice the baby

Caley is up to 1240 grams, exactly twice her birth weight! She is doing pretty well with consolidating her feedings too -- no more reflux than usual.

Over the last few days, we've been trying to introduce new visual stimulation to Caley. She's still leery of the stuffed animal and two rattles that we've tried to put in her bed with her, but she does have one new love. Caley's cousins, Dade and Dani, gave her this cute turtle nightlight: http://www.cloudb.com/ssandf/turtle.html. We have been setting it on top of her isolette and shining the stars on the ceiling at night. Caley seems to be looking up at the light and shadows, and has something new to do when she's awake at night. Thanks Dade and Dani!

Finally, Nurse Kodi took a few pictures of Caley a couple of weeks ago (during Caley's baby shower that she missed, in fact). Here's one of Caley smiling that we had to share.


(And yes, she looks red - this was 2 days after her last blood transfusion.)
