Here's a quick update on our baby girl. At the age of six months she:
- Sits up all by herself! She is pretty steady now.
- Picks up her own sucker (that's a pacifier at our house) and puts it in her mouth.
- Says "ma ma ma ma, ba ba ba and da da da da" and lots of other sounds. Mark claims that she was calling for him this morning when she woke up saying "da da da." I don't know if I believe him. Though twice I really think she has said "Oh, Ma ma!"
- Loves to get the attention of her brother and sister with smiles and coos and babbles.
- Loves to be held close by mom or dad.
- Has a huge smile and also a big cry.
- Can get just about any person in a store or at church to interact with her by smiling so brightly at them.
- Would rather be danced around the house instead of rocked when her tummy hurts.
- Loves rice cereal.
- Has a huge attraction cans and bottles (like daddy's beer bottles) and not much of an attraction for her sippy cup.
- Can still amaze us with her volumes of spit up. Ella and James are terrified that she will spit up on their things...or worse, on them!
- Is starting to give kisses.
- Fills our whole house with love!!
At her Tuesday well baby appointment, Claranna weighed in at about 12.5 pounds and is 24.4 inches long. She is a peanut compared to other babies her age. Developmentally she is right on track, though. Since her reflux has been so persistent, her weight gain has diminished and her diapers continue to be so foul, she'll be visiting a pediatric GI doctor tomorrow morning. The doctor felt it was necessary to take this next step and hopefully we'll get some answers to keep her tummy comfortable all of the time.
Here's a little video starring six month old Claranna and almost four James. Enjoy!!
