so here is what was up last 2 weeks.
Our lab that we had done back in November came back normal!! Yipee they have ruled out a few things, We are very greatful this was normal.
Alexandrea cut 3 more teeth, as of right now , she has 7 , 3 on the top and 4 on the bottom, with one more front tooth ever so close amd molars not far behind to coming in.
She flats out refuses to eat anything that is pureed, She was eating 2-3 jars a day mixed with cereal a day , and all of the sudden will not eat it, shakes her head no, screams, and pushes away with hand. She loves to eat puffs, waffes, crackers, raisens and sweet potato fries. When she is a good eating mood , she will also eat chicken and hamburger and few bits off of mom's plate of what ever we happen to be eating. She is still tiny, at her last weigh in on Jan 7, 2010 she weighed 13lbs 5.5oz, so our weight gain has been very slow. We manage to get a few samples recently of a product called duocal. This is a product that we can add to her bottles, or food and it adds calories. She seems to be tolerating this product well, so we ahre hoping for a more positive weight gain here. We are hoping to hit at least 15lbs or more by her 15 month birthday on Feb 10. So please pray for weight gain .
As I mentioned last week Alexandrea was pulling up, she is still pulling up when she wants. She is a rather lazy when it come to being mobile. We have a hard time letting her cry , as if she does cry too long, she vomits, and due to our weight issues, we cannot have this. We need every oz in her. It is a vicious cycle.
She has been able to roll over for some time but would never stay on her belly , no matter how much we tried, She would immediatly flip back over or scream and cry, again we cannot let her cry too long. When we would put her to bed, she would roll side to side and sleep on her back, but would not roll to her belly and would pretty much be in the same spot we put her to bed. On sat night that all changed, she has flipped to her bed a coulple of times and laying on her belly, she has sat up in bed , Granted her be does have a wedge making the head higher due to her reflux but she sat up.
She has manage to get up on her hands and knees and move forward, I have yet to see it but she does move about 5 feet, so she is crawling, but I have a feeling she will not crawl long, she rather be up and about.
Tonight she was standing at the coffee table and then her doll stroller and took a few steps while holding on, Oh my , Once she discovers balance she just might take off and run !!
