On the Move

Eleanor can no longer stand to be in one place for long. Except when shes tired and will stand to be held, her favorite place is the floor. We've had to move the coffee table out of the family room, put pillows everywhere and just let her go. She rolls and rolls, and she also pivots her whole body around to get to different toys. The family room floor is her equivalent of freedom!. She's not crawling, but she is pushing her whole chest and stomach off the floor--or she pulls her knees up under her. She just can't do both at the same time. Really she has to master sitting up before she can crawl. Sometimes I think if I leave her for more than a minute, I'll go back to find her walking toward me asking for the keys to the car, she's just developing so quickly lately.
Adam is doing MUCH better on the increased dose of Zantac. He hasn't thrown up any formula in three days, but will still toss his cookies when it comes to solid food. He's actually back to gaining weight and was 17 pounds 4 ounces this morning. I've been trying to give him as much tummy time as possible so he can catch up to his sister, but it is difficult since it makes him choke and spit up. He is always on his tummy first thing in the morning and is starting to push up on his arms and grab his little toes. See cute photos! We got the appointment with the pediatric gastrointerologist at UofM (never thought I'd be going there--Go Green!) and it's for October 6. You'd think they might consider opening up a few more appointments when the next available slot is over two months away. Sheesh.
Heading toward one year old...can you believe it? Only two months away!
