Two Weeks Later

It has been two weeks since Rylan's surgery and you would never know that it happened.  She is completely back to herself (including sleeping at night) and of course, her lip looks pretty similar to her pre-surgery lip.  She had her 4 month check-up today and is growing well.  Small in all areas, but that is not surprising looking at her Mommy and Daddy.  We got permission from the doctor to start some rice cereal in the next few weeks.  I am so excited to start feeding her real food!  Hopefully she doesn't have too much trouble keeping the food in her mouth.

Today was also exciting because Rylan was the "Smile of the Day" on Andi's Smile Page on Facebook.  This is a site run by young girl who also had a cleft lip and palate.  She raises money and awareness for Smile Train and everyday she chooses a new baby with a cleft to be honored as the "Smile of the Day".  It is fun to see Rylan on there.  I made sure to print the page out for her baby book so she can see how many people thought her cleft smile was beautiful!
