She’s off! Marissa is crawling. No more struggling to crawl by going two steps forward and five backwards…she’s mastered the real thing! Of course, she loves to go for the dog bed and the dogs. Just the things we wish she wouldn’t go for.
Each week we’re able to look back and see how much more she trusts us. The feeling is wonderful! We know we’ll look back in a month and see so much more, but for now, we are pleased. We see true progress daily and it is miraculous.
Marissa is also a squealer. She loves to make noises. When she’s frustrated, she squeals, then blows raspberries.
Marissa still won’t accept solid foods, so she may be our first baby who won’t eat birthday cake on her first birthday! She’s gaining weight well and growing taller, so for now she’s doing all right on the formula and cereal. She’s about 20 lbs now, so she’s gained about six pounds since she came to us, but can still wear 6 month size clothing. She’ll be one year old on September 23.
She lives up to the name we gave her while waiting for her…she’s a “Sweet Baby.”
