The days continue to tick away and we’re still expecting to see Lily crawl at any moment. For weeks now, she’s been able to get on all fours and rock back and forth, but just can’t get both knees moving. It’s so close! She did surprise us recently, however, by learning how to pull herself up into a standing position. Yikes. It would be just like her to skip the whole crawling part and just start running around.

We continue to do our best at stuffing her full of food, but she’s always more interested in blowing raspberries (will a full mouth, naturally) instead of swallowing. Thankfully, she gulps down a bottle like a champ, so at least she’s getting calories.

We also had some blood work done on her recently to test for allergies, and she came up positive for egg, wheat, peanuts, and dairy. Luckily, our pediatrician doesn’t expect these allergies to be permanent, but it means a) Stephanie must continue to restrict her own diet, and b) no flu shot for our little monkey. The upside to all this is that her skin has never looked better (no more eczema) and she hasn’t had any tummy troubles recently!
