Edith is eating less now that her steroid dose is decreasing. Now when she is hungry she doesn't scream as terribly and a lot of time eats less than 4 oz. Her steroid dose decreases by 6 mg every three days. She is also smiling more and really working on her crawling. We think she is just having trouble moving all of her extra weight around. She was 20 lbs, 15 oz at her check up yesterday and is 8 months old. She is officially bigger than Jones! Her blood pressure was elevated two weeks ago but now is pretty steady around 116/60 which is "acceptably high."
Edith loves when Alena kisses her cheeks. She squeals and usually pulls some of Alena's hair out. Alena is a good big sister and lets her get away with it.
Teaching little cousin Miles how to sit
Nora is trying to teach Edith how to hold her own bottle...
...and was so proud of her for holding the remote control. Edith is strangely not very interested in the remote, the first baby I have ever seen that isn't. The only toys she really likes are Sophie the giraffe, furry stuffed animals, and of course her blanket. She also loves grabbing and squeezing my skin, rather painfully for me!
