A half-year!

This past month has been horrible.  Remi was literally sick for the entire month--her whole 5th month of life.  We don't have a lot to report other than eye infections, ear infections, antibiotics, diarrhea, diaper rashes, temperatures, snot (lots of snot) and throwing up.  It was horrible.  She got so weak and overly congested that she stopped nursing for a few days and I was pretty sure we would be moved inpatient.  Then she turned 6 months and life just got a little better.

Remi was supposed to start physical therapy this month for torticollis.  She went to one appointment and it was h-e-double hockey sticks.  She hated it and screamed the whole time.  We had to cancel her next appointments due to illness and I'm dreading going back.  She was also diagnosed with "sensory integration disorder" but I'm pretty sure she was just so upset about being in a stranger's arms that everything was just setting her off.  We will see.  She seems completely normal to everyone else who meets her and continues to eat all types of food including peaches, mangos, peas, pears, avocado, banana, and she just tried some blueberries.

No progress on sleeping through the night because she was just too sick to even try any interventions.  She didn't gain much weight from 4 to 6 months (only weighs 16 pounds--which seems small to me because Adara was like 100 by this point) but the doctor is not concerned because she gained 2 inches in length.  Here is to a healthy 6 month baby!

Happy half-birthday to our Remigirl!
