Down to Sick Kids again this week for the latest checkup and Olivia is holding her own. We are now on a trial of NO medication. Its very odd - each day I feel like I am forgetting something. She has been medicated since she was a week old.
She is drinking less but eating more and I think I mentioned in the previous post that we are adding whipping cream or canola oil to all her solids now. It's all a little backward but it seems she is as stubborn as both Ben and me. She should still be mainly drinking and practice eating at this point but she is mainly eating and barely drinking. Shes gaining and not dehydrated though so we're going with it. At this rate she will be on finger foods in no time.
She is standing now and on the brink of cruising. We are going to be lowering the mattress in her crib/cott this weekend as she has almost figured out how to get up to standing on her own using the bars - clever devil.
She is now closing in on 17 lbs or 7.7 kg having gained just shy of a pound in 1 1/2 weeks - holy crapinoli! Phenomenal progress considering she gained two measly ounces in the whole month previous. (A great big thank you to the dairy farmers of Canada!)
These days we are wishing she came with a volume control as she exercises her voice from morning to night. Not words yet just babbling and lots of dadadadadada which is her favorite. Ben is so pleased LOL. She has even learned to gargle and can manage it at full throttle in any pitch you can imagine. That's always good for some crazy looks from strangers.
