Yesterday was Shoshanna’s “second first birthday” – one year after her original due date. We didn’t do anything exciting to mark the date, but I thought it would be fun to take some new pictures with our old friend Pickles.
First, let’s review…
October 4, 2004 (9 days old):

The secret of bananas, and the impending appearance of TEETH!
Posted by: Sarah on: June 10, 2005
I discovered the secret to Shoshanna’s banana aversion. It wasn’t a banana aversion so much as an objection to the commercial baby bananas, which quite honestly smelled exactly like banana-flavored candy. She’ll happily chow down on a very ripe banana that’s been run through the food processor ’til it’s the proper consistency; she [...]

We arrived just as Donna the respiratory therapist was finishing up with Shoshanna. Respiratory therapy was followed by bath time.

On Friday she weighed 791, on Saturday she weighed 804, and on Sunday she surpassed her birthweight, weighing in at a whopping 836 grams!!!! We also arrived at the hospital on Friday evening to discover that they’d moved her [...]
Eating again
Posted by: Sarah on: October 12, 2004
When we arrived at the hospital, Soshanna was about to get her first breast milk since Friday afternoon sometime. They’ve started her back at the beginning, with 1 ml of milk every 6 hours. They stepped her up pretty quickly last time, and I imagine that if she shows no negative effects this time they’ll [...]
