October Updates

Well it has been a while since we last posted and we have lots to tell. I have to start by saying that Elizabeth just turned six months old yesterday. Wow, we cannot believe that our sweet baby has been in this world six months. She has filled our life with such joy and laughter. I can't remember what we did before her.

So lets start with some updates. I am not sure if everyone new that we had a few choking scares and ended up in the emergency room a couple of weeks ago. Come to find out she has reflux and we are now on medicine twice a day. We go back to the doctor this week and will revisit the matter to see where we go from here. So far since starting the medicine we have not had anymore scares. Thank Heaven because mommy's heart couldn't take many more scares like that.

On a better note she has started drinking out of a sippy cup. About three weeks ago she started grabbing for my glass and drinking water out of it. So the next trip to Wal-Mart we bought a couple of sippy cups to try. I figured since she was showing an interest we should try it out. Can you believe she took right to it. She knows that the cups are hers and how to hold them. I was not expecting this for another couple of months. She has also started trying to crawl. She scooted across the floor three times on Thursday by herself but nothing since then. The last couple of days she will make it up on her knees and hands and rock a little then fall over. She is trying hard just can't get this coordination together yet.

Last week my mom was here so Elizabeth got to spend lots of time with Grandmother. This was nice until Grandmother left and Elizabeth wanted to be held all the time. Thankfully it only took about a day for her to realize mommy could not hold her all day and we were back to routine. What can we say though that is what Grandparents are for to spoil them and return them :) We also of course have had Halloween and Elizabeth was a Kitty Cat. She was so cute as you can see in the pictures. We took lots of pictures and some are with our neighbors kids.

I think I might be out of info for now. So we will post again after her doctors appointment this week.
