Oh, how I love this little girl! She's starting to sit without back support. I thought this was a huge accomplishment....or at least I thought so. I'm told by our early intervention specialist, Susan, that as wonderful as this is our goal needs to be getting her to bear weight on her feet. Yeah, she's not so fond of doing that. The other day two friends of mine were over for a visit and were helping her to stand and prop sit. She became so angry. This wasn't just a little upset and then calm down crying fit; this was monstrous flailing the body type fit. After I took her in my arms she continued to scream and arch her back for another few minutes.
What a temper!
Susan and I have found that with support high top shoes she will be more willing to stand and bear weight on her feet.
Let see, what else is she doing this month. She's babbling quite a bit. Mamamama is her favorite constant-vowel combination. Barry is eagerly awaiting till she starts to say Dadadada.She's also mastered the rolling thing. When we place her down on the floor she starts to roll and roll and roll some more. She's now finding herself in unpleasant situations of becoming trapped by chairs, tables or piano stools.
She absolutely adores time with her siblings. We'll come home from Classical Conversations class time on Thursdays to find that she's been quite unhappy. Granny will tell me how grumpy she's been--that she hasn't eaten well or slept well, yet, once we get home her cheerful countenance comes back. She's our happy, joyful little girl again. I think she just misses Mommy.
I was hoping that she was weaning off from oxygen at night, yet the other night I check her saturations rates and she was at 82. What? Much to low, so back with the oxygen. For a while she was pulling 94's at night. Alas, it'll be a while till this changes. No worries though--I'm sure one day she'll outgrow this need.

I found Liam up on the counter playing with Brianne this way. They had a great time chattering and playing together.
Oh my goodness...she is adorable! Conrats on sitting up. Isn't it funny how once they learn something they're supposed to be doing something else. The work will never be done. :)
ReplyDeleteVicki, I can totally see why you are so in love! She is so cute. I love the pictures of her. That one of Liam on the counter with her totally melts my heart ♥
