Julia Mireya is 8 months old and she is doing fantastic, still exceeding expectations. She is quite a petite baby at fifteen and a half pounds, but healthy. At night she is a little angel, sleeping from 7:00pm to 6:30am, without waking up. During the day, she takes three to four short naps, usually 30-40 minutes each. She still is fussy during the day at times and prefers to be held. However, she is becoming more mobile and enjoys exploring. She likes her walker and playing on her stomach. She just learned to sit on her own, finally. Even though she can be fussy, that stops when she is being held and she smiles all the time. Whenever we are out with her, many people comment on her beauty (of course!) and how smiley she is. Julia has been slow to catch on with food. She still just plays with it and pushes it out of her mouth. I am hoping one of these days she'll get that it needs to be consumed! A couple weekends ago, a friend of ours who is a pediatrician was visiting Moshi and evaluated Julia. She was very impressed with how she is doing. She compared her to a six and a half or seven month old, so she isn't too far behind. Her reflexes and responses were perfect and she was given a clean bill of health. Praise God.
