WOW! It is so hard to believe that Nora's is now 5 months. Is that possible?
Time is just flying by. Thankfully I am happy to report things have been quiet. We had another check up in Iowa City and they were very happy with how everything looked. Physical Therapist was just as impressed with her improvements. We finally seem have everything going the right way and Nora is doing great!!
We did have our first trip to the ER, only an ear infection. With her shunt we have to be very careful when she runs a fever, which that night was 101.4.
Nora loves sitting up and is able to sit on her own for a few seconds before toppling over. I know it will be any day now that she will be able to sit up with no problems. She is trying so hard and hates laying down.You can not get her to sit still now. She can roll from her back to front and front to back with no issues and now she can even roll to both her left and right. There is no stopping her now.
She is still a itty bitty but she loves her FOOD! She has really taken to the solids.Most time you can not get it to her fast enough.
Here is what we have tried:
* Rice Cereal * Sweet Potatoes
* Avocado
* Squash
* Banana
* Apple Rice Cereal
* Pears
* Oatmeal
* Green Beans (trying tonight)
I LOVE making my own baby food for her and being able to give her such a variety of foods. I have tried to introduce something new every 3 days or so That way I can ensure she doesn't have a reaction but gets to try a lot of different stuff.
I think we are entering the world of teething. Not showing any teeth yet but LOTS of drooling and chewing on everything. She has a mesh teething feeder that she loves to eat banana's out of of. I am also freezing formula to let her chew on that as well.
