caro's update

So in a couple of weeks Caro has gone from being a wobbly sitter to a stable sitter. I am still amazed at how quickly babies hit these milestones in their first year. She can also pick up objects and pass them from one hand to the other and she has moved on to #2 jar baby food. It's early I know, but there are some days she doesn't even want milk - like today. Every time she looked at her bottle she cried. I thought it was her teeth but at her age Xavi had moved on to 5 ounces of milk at a sitting. I think it's related to the reflux. Her pediatrician moved her to Prevacid when I said she wasn't doing that well on the Zantac. But the Prevacid didn't work at all - it was like she wasn't even on medication. So back to Zantac she went. It relieved the discomfort enough that she started eating solids agian (she had stopped while on the Prevacid). Solids are the key, I think. Now she throws up like Xavi did as a newborn, which is much more manageable. She has a few bad days but they don't compare to the days of changing her clothes 10-15 times a day - no joke! Now on a bad day I may change her 2-4 times, on good days not at all! I hear the more "solid" her food becomes the better this will get. It makes me chuckle to think that I'll have one milk guzzler (he still prefers it to food and we go through 3 gallons of milk a week - sometimes more!) and one that may not be interested in the white stuff.

Here are some pictures I've taken in the last two weeks of her sitting, swinging and hanging around with her brother, cousin Sofia and Tia lala.
