Posted in baby notes

Just for my records an update on baby:
Neuro--So alert and bright.  Talking/babbling.  Knows the sign for "milk" and uses it when she is tired/fussy.  Says MaMa and DaDa, and seems to know they are words for us.  Responds so well to Victoria and loves her.  Friendly with strangers.  Easily smiles and responds to people.

GI:  Taking all ceral grains/a variety of vegetables and fruits/juices/"cheerios"/chicken and tolerating all well.  Drinks from a sippy cup, even hold it by herself.  Favorite food is sweet potatoes (such a southerner!) and likes orange juice.  Like her big sister and cousins loves bread/biscuits.  BM's as expected with solids.  Still nurses 2-3 times/day. Mostly on rising, before pm nap and again at bedtime.  No teeth yet, but gums appear white, and still symptomatic, so we expect teeth any day now.

M/S:  Works hard to pick up "cheerios", but can't quite get them into mouth.  Holds cup/brings it to her mouth well.  Reaches/grabs EVERYTHING.  Pulls self up to standing by herself.  Loves to jump in jumper and has been "walking" around the whole house in her walker for several months now. 

Hardly any hair but what she does have is very light blonde.  Big blue eyes.  Loves to take a bath, especially with big sister.  Sleeps through the night 9-10 pm until 7-9 am.  Favorite toys are little connecting rings, and teething toys. Friendly, happy baby.  Loves Daddy and big sister so much.  She is the apple of our eyes.  We love her very much.
