Isabella is now 7 months old. She weighs about 19 pounds (what a big girl!) and is slowly but surely getting more active. She's pretty lazy and expects everything to be done for her. Her first day of physical therapy is in two days and she'll continue to go every Monday from then on. As far as her physical therapy evaluation, the doctors seem to think she's fine, just that she has weak upper body strength and that she arches her back constantly, which is not good. I'm hoping that with time and work she will get to where she needs to be. She has been starting to try to clap her hands, which is really cute. She can also sit up now for a pretty long period of time. She was a little bumble bee for Halloween and just oh-so-cute. But, Ryan of course says she was a yellow jacket (gotta have school pride). Unfortunately, we've been having horrible nights because for some reason she wakes up in the middle of the night screaming crying and stays up for hours. It's really starting to wear me out. We really have no idea what it is, since it's so out of character for her. The doctors first thought it was constipation and are now saying reflux. We started her reflux medicine today but she's already woken up twice. It's really hard for me to see my baby struggling with something that I can't figure out. I hope the reflux medicine starts working or she's going to have to continue going to the doctor and being crabby from lack of sleep. She also has been refusing her bottles, which is REALLY frustrating because that's nutrition that is so crucial for her to have. Although this is a trying time, we're working through it day by day and doing the best we can.
