Fast Forward

Well, Emmy is apparently on fast forward! I told you recently (about a week ago) that I saw Emmy pull up at the sitter, then she came home and pulled up on the magazine rack, also the laundry basket and them climbed in. Now she has it down pat! She is very proud of this new skill and is now waking up in the middle of the night and standing up, then screaming until I go in, and then she smiles! She hangs under the bar stools and found the banister railing to pull up on! Tomorrow she turns 7 months.
We had her doctor appointment today. She is 80% for height and took a tumble on weight to the 15%. She now weighs 14 pounds. We are going to all formula now except the early morning feeding. I have been making her baby food since she began eating, and today we got the green light for meats! Hopefully this will help her gain weight. We kept trying to increase the amount of ounces in each bottle, but she got more spitty, so we backed off. She seems to be able to take more now, so hopefully we can get some rolls on her!
The doctor did the normal "heres what to watch for" speech. He said, "this month you will notice her showing an interest in crawling, or improving om it." Im like, uh, that was a month ago! He was pretty surprised. Then he said, "well, she may start to try and pull up to a stand in the next month or so then." Uh, yeah, we have been doing that for a week. He was very shocked that its a daily skill. He said "well, in all my practice, only one child has walked at 8 months and she may be the 2nd, and I want you to call me if she does!" LORD NO! Im hoping she will be happy with this fun skill for a while! She hasnt mastered getting down from the stand, so that is causing lots of bruises from just letting go and going backwards on her head! Maybe thats what we will work on!
