An Update

I know, I know....I'm a horrible slacker blogger.

So, what's new? Jon had surgery on his shoulder and has been off work for a while. He still doesn't have full range of motion in his arm but seems to be doing pretty well now. My mom came down to help out and we all had a nice visit.

Greta went to the feeding clinic and has an upper GI on Friday just to make sure there's nothing physical going on. We are supposed to work on desensitizing her gag reflex and to give her baby steps to try before actually expecting her to eat new foods.

Grace---not much new with her.

Xander has a sleep study Sunday to see how his breathing is at night and see about getting his adenoids removed.

Marie is getting to be such a big girl. She's 7 months now and on our home scale is right at 12.8lbs. She sits by herself. She's been scooting around for a while but is now starting to actually crawl on her hands and knees! She's still pretty slow but it won't be long until she takes off. She isn't crawling over and pulling up on things yet, but she has occasionally pushed up to standing (off the cat's back or edge of the co-sleeper) and she'll stand if we hold her hands out. She goes crazy splashing in the bath and gets excited when she hears the water running. I think her favorite toy is her color book and I've never seen a baby so excited about turning pages. She loves Kitty and I think she's meowing at her. She has a little meow like squeal she only uses when she sees Kitty. And Jon ands I are pretty sure she is saying Mama. It sounds more like Nama but she definitely seems to be using it for me! She's turned into a dedicated thumb sucker and is still a super sweet and pleasant girl. Here's a recent picture-

By the way whats going on with Greta? Is she not eating? I know Kaylea has a bad gag reflux and can only eat certain things...or only chooses too. Eric has it too. I will pray for Greta. love yall. Hope John is doing better too. oh and PS - what is an adenoid?
