Today was a ‘Dear Toddler Diary’ day- first we went to Hillcrest and met SLIDER!! And then we picked pumpkins, played on a playground and had dinner out with Grandma and Grandpa. A truly amazing day!!! #hillcresthospital #nicumiracle #nicudoctor #clevelandindiansbaseball #slider #24weekermicropreemie #pattersonfruitfarm @pattersonfruitfarm @clevelandclinic @indians (at Hillcrest Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/BofdSLrlHEq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=i4g0tpg31xem

HAPPY HOLLY DAY!!!! Two years ago today our sweet Holly cam home from the hospital after 138 days!!! Since last Holly Day, our girl has: Grown 12” (25” since birth) Gained 15 lbs (28 since birth) Has all her teeth Had 30 doc/therapy appointments (down from 95 last year!) NO ER visits!! Graduated from the NICU follow up clinic Still in 50% for weight and 75% for height on the regular growth charts Is 22x bigger than her birth weight!!! . Holly loves laughing, kissing, ‘bubba and wawa’, swinging, running, climbing, ELMO, pictures of ‘nana and baby’. Her favorite foods are pickles, pizza, milk, spaghetti, crunchies (basically any cereal) and blueberries! . We desperately wish we could@visit Hillcrest today to thank her amazing caregivers, but Holly has the sniffles and we wouldn’t dare bring those up there. . Since last Holly Day, our family has been the March of Dimes Signature Chefs Family, been on the news@for MoD many times, I have joined the Family Advisory Council with Hillcrest Hospital NICU, helped out with the Full Circle NICU support group, and now I will be sitting on the Board of Directors for @projectpreemiecle !!! Holly has opened our eyes to a world we knew nothing about, but are glad to be a part of. We are so proud of our little miracle and love sharing her with the world!! . #hungryhungryholly #nicumiracle #24weekermicropreemie #hillcresthospital #clevelandclinic #projectpreemie #nicuawarenessmonth #forevergrateful (at Hillcrest Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn6334wAmmh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lsvq00illhgk
