Summertime!

Monday, June 19, 2006
Well, after a few rough days of reflux, I think she is finally on the mend again. She started gagging on just about everything I gave her, had some vomiting with yogurt and a couple of bottles. We backed back down again and are starting over. She did okay with her jarred cereal tonight but started gagging at the end, another sign of her persistent reflux so we had to end the feeding. She is back up to 4-6 ounces of solids a day again mostly her fruits and fruit blend purees. She gets a little ice cream and popsicles for variety and to cool her off and quench her thirst when she gets too hot.

Oh, last Thursday I caught her getting up on her knees using a chair for help. She is getting close to pulling up to a stand now. She is also trying to figure out a stance for crawling but can't seem to get her knees in place without ending up on her belly again. She is practicing a lot though so I think she will get there pretty soon. We keep watching her like a hawk so we can be the first to catch it when she does. We are all amazed at watching her grow! Patrick is home for the summer now and he is mesmerized just as much as Bradley is when she gets going.

She has a terrible temper and I believe she might be worse than the boys ever were. With their help, I can usually calm her down without too much trouble but she will probably figure me out before too long. I will be in big trouble then! She can be very loud and outspoken when she wants to.
