The Saga Continues...

Little Emily has seen more doctors and therapists, etc. in her short life than I did throughout my whole childhood! Lately it has been a nutritionist. We were referred because she hasn't been able to start cereal or baby food and there was concern that she wasn't getting enough calories in her diet. We learned that she is in the 25% on the preemie curve for weight(good news) and that she is lactose intolerant (not such good news). We have switched to a new formula and will surely beef up soon! Maybe we'll get out of those newborn and 0-3 month clothes soon!

We are starting our RSV shots this week which should be lots of fun! Emily has been approved for five doses which will carry us through February and will continue them through April if RSV is still in full swing in the Dallas area. We are so thankful these shots will give her immune system a boost for this nasty infection so we don't have to be prisoners of our home over the next seven months! We will certainly still be very cautious in the months ahead of course!

Next week we are going for our second ENT consult and will be learning more about the hearing aids. So check back for news on that later...

And now some exciting news.... Emily is mastering the rolling over technique! After many, many weeks working on this in therapy she finally rolled over for us twice one night last week and then showed off her impressive skills again tonight! Wayne and I are beaming over this major accomplishment for her and are so proud of all her hard work. She is really doing great with head/neck control and can even pick her head up now and look at us when she is on her tummy! Again a major accomplishment and something we have been working really hard towards. Way to go sweet baby! You are the hardest little worker I know!

Such a big girl!!

My little cutie!

Big Cheers for Emily!!
