Update time.....

Well, here she is, our little Miss Mia. First, the stats-as of last Thursday, she's 14 lbs., 7 ozs. and 25 1/2 inches long. She has had her LAST eye exam as her eyes have matured to the point that the Retinopathy is gone!! THANK YOU, LORD!! and to everyone who has been praying for her!! She has learned how to spit (the raspberry-type) and is very good at it. Unfortunately, her favorite time to show off her new trick is when she's eating! So, that has been challenging! She's tried all the vegetables and is working on the last meat (beef-blah!) before we head into the fruits. She's interested in her sippy cup and will even bring it to her face (sometimes her mouth, sometimes, her nose or eye, but at least it's her face!) and even take a sip or two. She still LOVES her bottle, but we're working on not taking a bottle after she eats baby food, so we'll see how that goes.... She really likes her new ExerSaucer, even though she falls forward sometimes if we're not careful. She's very strong and is SOOO close to rolling over! The physical therapist visited last week and is very happy with Mia's progress-she's right on track for her adjusted age (4 1/2 months). We saw the Developmental Pediatrician yesterday in Madison and she is also very happy with Mia's progress (considering how early she was, the problems she overcame, etc...). She did say she would like to hear Mia vocalizing more, so we'll continue to work on that. We're finally back on schedule from our trip to California. Mia's back t going to bed around 9pm and sleeping until about 5:30 or 6am. She'll get up, eat and then USUALLY go back to bed....she's also taking 2-3 naps per day of 2-3 hours each. It all depends on where we have to be, etc...but now that the evening schedule os in place, we'll be working on the daytime schedule. She's still on Zantac for her GERD and has shown that she still needs it (when we miss a dose, she will be cranky, gurgley, etc...). Mia will be 8 months old on Friday--it's hard to believe! Recently I went back and looked at the older posts and just thanked God for everyting that He has brought us through.

LOVE those baby rolls!!!!! And chubby cheeks--I just want to SQUEEZE them!!

Such a big girl!
