Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) has visited a couple of times and reported that she is doing well and seems to be right on track developmentally. Her head control is excellent and she can roll from her tummy to her back on occasion.
Trying to catch up with Hank who comes to visit during the day a couple times a week.
ECI also agreed with our suspicions that Morgan has already started teething since she thought her gums looked swollen. We thought that was the case when she started drooling a lot more and would sometimes chew on her pacifier or bottle instead of sucking.
Finding a new use for her thumb.
In addition, she is also getting much more vocal than when she first came home, in both good and bad ways. She will smile, laugh and coo. But she will also give us an earfull if we aren't entertaining or soothing her the way she would like.
ROAAAAR!!! (okay it was a yawn but you get the idea)
She weighed 10lbs 15oz at her last appointment but that was at the end of Feb so she should have added to that by now. At the time she was going through a phase where she didn't seem to want to eat much. The doctor said not to force it and not to worry.
Sleeping > Eating
In the last week, her appetite has really picked up again so I guess she is trying to catch up now. Also, her reflux seems to have improved immensely. We're not sure if it's the medicine finally kicking in, or the fact that she is growing, or both, but regardless we are thrilled that she is so much more comfortable after eating.
Maybe this isn't so bad after all.
She also had her first weekend trip to Brenham recently to visit with Nana and Papa.
Nana and Papa have the best toys.
Best seat in the house...Nana's shoulder.
Ready for church.
She looks great. I just love her little cheeks!!!
