And just like that, three-fourths of the first year has vanished before our eyes! This has been a busy month for Brooklyn! She can now sit up on very stable surfaces for short periods of time. She has also perfected her army crawl and is quite speedy at moving across the room. She has started to clap her hands (one hand open, the other in a fist) and just this morning, the corner of her first tooth emerged! She got her crib lowered after she was discovered standing after nap time. And she makes me laugh by shaking her head no quite vigorously when there is something she doesn't want. Busy, busy girl!
She continues to eat and sleep well. She sleeps about 11-12 hours each night and takes two naps. She drinks 6 ounces of formula every three hours, and eats 1 jar of food at each meal.
She had a second ear infection this month, for which she is still on antibiotics. I am hoping this is not a precursor of things to come! She still visits the physical therapist once a week, the developmental therapist twice a month, the neurologist every three months, and the pediatrician monthly for antibody shots. Oh, the life of a preemie!
She continues to be a very laid-back, easy-going delight. From the way she grunts while she eats... to the way she holds the ends of my hair as she falls asleep... to her contagious belly laugh at the silliest things... we just couldn't love this sweet thing any more than we already do!
