7 months old

It must have been the steroids!  Poor Angel, you (and your brother) got hit this month with croup cough and you got a double ear infection.  After two rounds of antibiotics and a steroid injection, you came back with a vengeance.  So, yes, last month you were crawling, this month, there is no stopping you!  You have got some speed behind your crawling now!! You love to be wherever your Bubba, is and love to play with his toys, even though for Christmas you got some pretty cool things!! Your brother was worried that Santa was not going to bring you anything because you are not a good girl when you cry!!  Well, Santa did just fine!  You had more fun tearing the paper, pulling off bows and playing with the boxes, when you did with the toys!  You are starting to pull up on things now, like the table cloth, pulling daddy's breakfast of eggs and bacon to the floor!!  You like to pull up on Bubba's table and watch him play!  You are eating more foods.  We started applesauce, which you love, banana, and peas.  Your appetite is definitely improving.  You eat 2-3 servings of food a day and drink about 5 ounces of supplemented breast milk.  You are still breast feeding on days that mommy is home, too.  We are starting to read to you.  Sometimes its hard for you to sit still long enough to finish the book, but you are doing better.  You sit pretty well through church, but like to stand on the pew to look at the people behind you!  You are growing quick, Angel, and it is getting harder and harder to keep up with you!  You are quick, you laugh, and you smile.  You are such a happy baby, and we are loving watching you grow up!  Love you, sweet Eleana!
