Deanna is 6 months




Here is an update of our daughter...

She is so much fun!! Her eyes and whole face move when she smiles and somehow her eyebrows have become first impression sensor...when she is curious, they raise w/ expressive eyes, when she is sad, they frump down and her eyes go shut and mouth gets tight, etc.

She is 15 lbs, 1 1/2 ounces and is growing well and is mostly healthy. We don't know why she doesn't eat by her mouth still and we may just skip the bottle feedings this round. In a week or so, we will attempt some cereal or applesauce or somthing of substance, but we are waiting for her to be sitting up w/ better head control...she still resembles a bobble head doll, but way cuter!! She is beginning to reach for things and really enjoys musical toys, dolls, and things that light up. She still sleeps between every feeding and is on oxygen at night. She is soooo easy going and a great baby-we are so blessed by her.
Oh yeah, she started sucking her thumbs-we are encouraged at her new habit even though we don't approve of it for very long. At this point, any oral sensory things are good and hope to ease the strategy into eating.
