Last week we went to the doctor again. Not for more shots--that isn't for another month. I decided I needed to take her in because I decided something just wasn't right. She was doing mass amounts of spitting up (mouth and nose) along with arching her back and crying. It was obvious it hurt her and I was so done! I went in thinking they probably won't have much to tell me, and came out excited that my baby might be happier within only a matter of hours! Turns out she has GERD a.k.a reflux. So she now takes medicine in her bottle (because I figured out after she gagged herself into vomiting that it tasted HORRIBLE-I will from now on be tasting liquid meds before I give them to her I decided! what a mess it made!) twice a day. Also, they decided that maybe her other issues weren't truly an allergic reaction, but just from having reflux. She is now back on regular Enfamil formula that is lactose, but the A.R. which stands for added rice so she can keep it down easier. And guess what... IT WORKS WONDERS! She is a totally new baby. Hardly any spit up (one day she got to spend the WHOLE day in the same outfit because she only spit up ONCE!) and no more cries when she does.
Now onto the fun stuff.
Emmy loves her toys. Sometimes she grabs them and won't let go!
She usually either has them in her mouth, or is trying to get them in her mouth. She always puts her toy elephant's nose in her mouth!
I don't have a picture of it, but if she thinks the texture is weird of something that she puts in her mouth she will make a disgusted face. It's pretty funny!
Here is a video of her trying to get her dangling toy in her mouth. As you will see--this doesn't work out so well so she is fussy!
I keep finding her on her side--especially when she is playing on her playmat. So I am thinking it won't be long before she is rolling over on her own!!
And the BEST part about this update is that Emmy now GIGGLES! AND IT IS ADORABLE!
This video is the first night she started giggling. It was right before bath time and Papaw started playing with her tummy. It is kinda hard to hear her giggle because Kaillou saw that he was around her and is super protective of her--so he is barking at him. Unfortunately I caught it at the end right before she was done, so only about the first 10 seconds of the video are any good.
The next day she giggled even MORE!!! Apparently Emmy thinks my dad is just hilarious because he was just clapping and she started giggling away!
Notice the head fall back at the end---
(Also, those are not hiccups in her laugh. She just laughs like that.)
Here is a shorter one of her giggling. It's funny because at the beginning right before I hit record my dad clapped and it scared her then she started laughing hysterically!
Emmy has been a fairly good sleeper the last while, but the past two nights she has slept ALLLL night long! I kept thinking she was about to wake up then she would be out again. This morning I found myself waiting for her to wake up!
