Best Mother's Day yet!

I am so happy to be home with my family. Summer is really healing quickly, and has kept us laughing non-stop since we've been home. We think she must have been getting headaches (from bad vision, or from the tumor itself) for quite a while. I never would have called her a cranky kid, but she has been SO happy all the time since we've been home.

She even went a full day without a nap yesterday, and didn't have any meltdowns at all! That's unheard of!

We thought we were going to have a number of bad habits to break her from once we got home - bottles of milk all day long, sleeping in bed with Mommy, and a binky 24-7 - but she has transitioned home really well.

I have no medical news to report at this point, but thought you all might like to see some pictures of Summer now that she's home.

C'mon Papa, I know the doctors said no horsing around...but one ride won't hurt!

Pretending she's a pirate - can you hear her saying 'arrrgh' ?

Jumping!

"so big!"

Happy Mother's Day!

This is her pirate beard.

Best Mother's Day gift ever - Summer loving the swings again! You've all probably seen her (or video of her) cackling while on the swings. She used to love them! About a month ago, she developed a fear of the swings and wouldn't go on them anymore. Now, we think it's because her vision was getting bad from the tumor. Today, she was having so much fun - giggling away on the swings again!

Summer always has time to stop and smell the flowers - and to make everyone with her smell them too.

mmm...brownies - thanks Casie!

We hope everyone had as wonderful a Mother's Day as I did!
