Milestones

Genevieve has hit quite a few milestones lately and I wanted to document them. At 8 months she started army crawling, eating finger foods, and experiencing a little separation anxiety from mom. At 8 1/2 months she started waving. I also forgot to mention anywhere that Genevieve was sleeping in her crib in her own room at 6 weeks and sleeping through the night at 8 weeks.

Gen has been much better since we started her on her medication. No more coughing and congestion! Woo hoo! We have been seeing the doctor once a week to check on her progress. He said that if she doesn't get better without meds by the time she is one (which isn't far away), she might need to have surgery. I'm going to ask for more information about this at her appointment tomorrow.

The frustration she is really dealing with right now is wanting to move all the time. She doesn't get anywhere very fast with her army crawling. We keep trying to show her how to crawl but it's something she'll just have to figure out, or not. She might just go from army crawling to walking, who knows? Everyone says she is super strong so I can't imagine she isn't strong enough to crawl.

We took Genevieve in for a test photo shoot with a local modeling agency called "The Kim Brooke Group". After two weeks of waiting we got the results back and they said she had great expressions and the photographer said she was easy to work with. I can't wait to see the 8 x 10 picture of her from this shoot. We have a parent meeting on Thursday for this. We don't expect Gen to be a superstar, but we thought this might be a nice way to beef up her college fund.

I've been sick lately so I haven't taken too many pictures. I'll try to take some tomorrow to post.
