Ella and Raegan, 7 months, August 7, 2014

Well, it’s official; the girls are closer to their first birthday than their birth. I can’t believe how fast time has gone and how far our entire family has come.

Raegan spends 90% of her time on her tummy and looks like she is DYING to crawl. I would not be surprised if one day I look over and she’s on her way towards the door. She sat up on her own for about 20 seconds then face planted, but she loves sitting up. Unfortunately, she’s still a crabby crab and doesn’t have a ton of interest in her bottle but loves cereal. She’s still smaller than Ella, but we don’t head to the doctor until next week to find out her actual weight.

Ella is doing better every day. She is not a massive fan of her tummy time but hangs out longer now than before. She was tilting a lot when sitting in the bumbo but has been better the last couple of days. She can’t sit on her own but she’ll get there one day. Neurosurgery continues to just monitor her, and we are waiting for home care physiotherapy for her. She is quite the babbler and loves to be flown through the air. She still giggles when I change her, and loves getting raspberries on her belly.

This month will have more adventures. I’m off with Raegan tomorrow to check on her murmur and we’re going to cap off the summer with a 10 hour car ride to Chicago!
