Heart Update

Becca had her appointment with the cardiologist yesterday for another echo. Her doctor is happy with the way her heart is growing. She had 3 small wholes in the actual heart, but they have all closed now. Yippy! Her aortic arch is still very narrow. but he can tell it is starting to open up more as she grows. He's more concerned about the pulmanary valves (the ones that take the blood to the lungs) he said those are still narrow, but he doesn't want to do surgery on them just yet because so far she's been "working things out on her own". She was so good during the whole proceedure and was such a little sweetheart. We feel very blessed and happy with her progress. Here is what else she has been up to.
*Becca is a BIG time daddy's girls. She claps and kicks her legs anytime he walks in the room.
*Becca can stand and walk although, she still prefers to crawl. The most consecutive steps she has taken (that I know of) are 9. Then she sits down and crawls. :) At this point it's faster I suppose.
*Becca LOVES her brothers and does everything she can to keep up with them. It's cute.
* She LOVEs being outside. She often stands at our back door and says "Side, side, side" over and over until someone takes her out.
* Becca knows the sounds a duck, pig, cow, cat and doggy make. Moo and Quack are her favorites though.
* She loves her big wood puzzles
* She loves to color and thinks she needs to anytime the boys are doing homework.
*She know's how to open all of my "baby proofed" cupboards and she LOVES to get into my scrapbooking supplies.
*She LOVES to play in the pantry.
*She loves sesame street
*She loves music and singing and dancing. She always starts singing at church and it's just the cutest thing ever.
*She loves to drink from a straw and feeding herself.
*She loves paper. Everytime we go shopping she reaches for the reciept
* She can say Kyle (I-eell) Jaden (daadin) Mom, Dad, Hi, bye bye while waving, WOW, please (eeze) and Elephant (ya ya fent)
*she gives and blows kisses
*she is so girly, she loves to comb everybody's hair, and playing with her jewlry.
* Becca is the most easy going baby I have ever seen. She seriously never cry's and she is just soooo happy all the time! I love running errands with her because she is so happy and loves to see it all. Although it does slow things down some times because everybody wants to stop and talk with her.
*I love Becca's cute little curls and piercing blue eyes.
Becca is such a wonderful little girl and I'm so glad she is getting healthier and stronger day by day. We love you Missy B.
