9 months & "she's thriving!"


so says our lovely pediatrician :)

We have decided to book Sasha for the deflux procedure after much thought about it. It has been highly recommended and the risks seem very minimal for the amazing outcome of getting her off antibiotics and enabling her body to outgrow the problem without further complications. (well a much larger chance of it anyway!)

Dr. Hailey was absolutely thrilled with Sasha's development (she declared "she's thriving" with enthusiasm!) and is confident the procedure will benefit her greatly. She has grown in length...two inches in the past month (now 30 inches long)!! Her weight continues to hover around 22 lbs and overall her health is fantastic.

She also seems to be quite the overachiever. Dr. H says she is anywhere from 3 weeks to a couple of months ahead of "normal" in all stages of development so far, though girls typically speed through these stages faster than boys. She is a stubborn problem solver so this probably helps too! (my daughter stubborn?! teehee)

Now that she has actually begun cruising I'd actually be happy if she'd slow down a bit in her development! LOL ;)

here are just a few more pics to tide you over 'til the next update...in cahoots with Merlin cruising around the table, showing off at home (above) and clever thing has figured out how to open the tupperware drawer! (time to get on that baby proofing!)
