Georgia Kate is 8 Months Old!





Weight: 18 lbs 4 oz (She finally gained weight...yay!)

Height: 30 inches

What she's wearing: Size 3 diaper, 6-9 month clothes

Eating: She nurses and eats solids for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and is getting really good at eating "real people" food. She loves bananas, apple straws, waffles and cereal. She is finally off the reflux medication, and I have tried several times to reintroduce small amounts of dairy into my diet. Unfortunately, it did not end well for anybody. :( Guess we will wait another couple of weeks or so and try again.

Sleeping: She goes down around 7:30 pm and sleeps until 6:00 am when I wake her up to eat again. 

Special Tricks: Georgia is rolling all over the place, sitting up on her own and ALMOST crawling. She can go backwards and is working really hard on moving forward. She's almost there! The progress she has made in physical therapy is incredible! She is down to every other week now. She has also made a ton of progress with the helmet. We had follow-up scans done recently, and she showed an improvement of 3 mm (she started at 10.8 mm and is down to 7.7 mm). Our orthotist thinks she will be in the helmet for another 6-8 weeks. The goal is to get the difference in measurements down below 5 mm. She's well on her way!

Activities: Georgia's favorite activity is watching her brother. She pretty much thinks he's the funniest thing in the world. They love to play together...I always say she is going to be one tough chick as a result of all the rough-housing they do!

I can't believe what a big girl Georgia is becoming! Although she is incredibly impatient (and has a wicked set of lungs on her!), she is a sweet, happy girl. I love watching her personality develop!
