Niamh is not yet crawling. She gets onto her tummy and has a very strong body lifting her head right up. I can tell she really REALLY wants to move by the way she has her legs and arms going for it but the body is stationary. Niamh can get frustrated by this lack of movement but seems that the crawling motion hasn't yet clicked in her brain.
We haven't been giving her any losec for about 2 weeks now and I'm thrilled to say she is having no problem. She still spills a little bit but it doesn't seem to be affecting her at all. Fantastic news there! With the intolerance to cows milk protein, the pediatrician has advised we keep Niamh off all diary until she is over 1 year of age. We are getting the soy formula subsidised which helps since it's a bit more expensive than regular formula. And Niamh has been sleeping through the night for about 3 weeks with NO dream feed. We got her up one night to dream feed her and she was NOT happy! Sooo that ended the dream feed for her and no problems as a result. No teeth yet either.
In the last couple of weeks we've taken Niamh to MOTAT (had free tickets to use) and then last Saturday was Anthony's work do at Rainbow's End. It's not so easy doing a lot of the rides with an 8 month old, but she seemed to enjoy going around the places in her stroller. We went on the merry- go- round at Rainbow's End with her. Santa even came to the Maxitrans picnic and Niamh got her first Xmas present from him- a book! She LOVES books. Apparently she's on the good list!!!
The latest with Niamh is she is now trying to blow raspberries with her lips. Unfortunately she kind of sucks her lips in instead of pushing them out though... She's just started that high pitched squeal again. Fun!! But she's getting really good at saying B..b...bb..bb.bb.bb. she's very vocal and is really good at having 'conversations'.
Not long to Xmas now. 11 sleeps until the Simons' Xmas and 18 sleeps until the Parsons' Xmas. Niamh is ready for her first ever Xmas! :)
