Little does Jesse know.....but she is at a great point in her life!! So much is behind her and it looks like a lot of blue sky ahead!!
We did keep with the monthly tradition of going to the hospital, but it was only to have her hemangiomas removed. This pic was right before the surgery.
She won't sit still long enough for me to get a pic of her scar right now, but it really is looking nice. There are stitches on her head still but they will be absorbed. Right after the surgery it really did look very frankensteinish,
but now the swelling is gone. The one on her stomach has the glue and it really just looks like a scratch!
Before the surgery I kept thinking that I would be reminded of the hemangiomas but now I don't think about them at all. I guess it's because we didn't really notice them too much when they were on her. My sister wanted to keep it as a keepsake and my brother said that Jesse would win in the "MS. HEMANGIOMEE" contest.
I highly recommend her dr and if you know of someone who has questions about hemangiomas I would be happy to pass on all my info.
Jesse is the happiest baby. She gives this obnoxious grin to people and she waves at everybody!!! She even waves at the cars coming out of the car wash. No matter where we are...she waves at people. I know that it puts a smile on their face and I always encourage her to be friendly. It's something that I will always stress to her.
We really do have a lot of fun together. We spend a lot of time outside just sitting and exploring. I talk to her....and tell her what things are...she talks to me in some asian language. But we understand each other somehow. She is very silly and she is constantly trying to make me laugh. If she does get me to laugh (which happens quite a bit) she will do whatever it was over and over again. She is not loved just because I am related to her, but also because of who she is. Her personality, her faces, quirks, sad faces, pouty lip, the way she holds my hand when she takes a bottle, or how she hands me whatever it is she is not supposed to have when she thinks she is in trouble.
She gets over things very quickly and I think some of that is due to her knowing what real pain is. Her fear of stethoscopes and getting her blood pressure taken, tells us that she still remembers the trauma she went through.
I am photographing my best friends/brothers wedding on Saturday. I did his fiancee bridal portraits and I think she really liked them. They are a lot of fun and really easy going. These picture colors are a bit distorted on here...but you get the idea.
