Big Girl!

Eliza has turned into such a big girl! Lately she smiles all the time and has taken some serious attempts at laughing. She's gained some pretty great control of her neck so we tried her out in her Bumbo chair yesterday. She seemed to really like it! This chair will be great for containing a mess when she first handles food on her own.





Her development is so fun to watch. These days she's making noises aside from cries. We can also tell the difference between her cries. We've been keeping the house a bit cool since heating costs are going to be so high this winter. She was chilly this morning decided to communicate her unhappiness by crying a very distinct and unusual cry. I put her in her booster chair, covered her in a blanket, and put a hat on her. She calmed down, but she wanted to make sure I was aware that she was unhappy with me.



I expect to get this face a lot on Wednesday when we go for Eliza's barium swallow. Brian's Mom has volunteered to go with me, thank goodness. She's not going to like that bottle full of barium and if she cries too hard, it'll totally break my heart. Hopefully we'll find out more about her reflux issues and get that under control soon.
