Thanks for the support on the whole Neb thing. We've had to up her doses and so we went through the hassle of having daycare administer the stuff. She sounds worse, but I think that may be more of it just working itself out.
She's now 9 months old, still as big as ever (get the official measurements next week when she has her 9 mo apt and a follow up for her current illness). She's long and tall and not all that chubby, and clothing is still a challenge.
Because I hate how those nice developmental emails keep pointing out to me what she isn't doing, and since everyone else's kid can already do it, I'm going to vent a little.
She is not crawling. She is not rocking. She is not eating table food (Cheri0's don't count) She eats solids once a day because we're not sure if more won't make her puke. Not to mention, when we're home, she's often asleep due to lack of napping at daycare/being sick. She looks like an older kid, and is regularly offered the kids menu at restaurants. She still thinks that nipples have covers. She's teething again and had it not been for the nipple shield, I would have been bleeding after this morning's incident. I am still breastfeeding. I plan on breastfeeding past a year. I'm still cosleeping. I plan on stopping that as soon as I can convince ajd to start work on moving the rooms again.
She does babble a lot, Da, Ga, La, but not Ma. She will give you a toy if you ask her for it and put out your hand. Her pincer grasp is getting good (see above and the Cheri0's) and she's eating puffs now. She has an amazing reach, I think if she were shorter maybe she'd have more reasons to crawl. She will sit next to you on the couch and snuggle. She's a ham and loves to make people laugh. (see next item) She plays peek-a-boo, as in lifts the blanket up and hides her face, then drops it down and expects you to react. She claps. The best thing, she does my silly happy dance/snoopy dance thing while sitting. ajd swears I've doomed her to a life of bad white girl dancing. I don't care. I can put bows in her hair.
