Sierra started sitting unsupported about a week before she was six months old
She loves being read to, she really has a fascination with books
She does a lot of creeping, and gets into the crawling stance, but mostly just does a lot of rocking
Uncle Kevin and Aunt Helen came to visit
Sierra had her first trip to the swimming pool. She handled it so well! She loves new experiences.
Her first time in her high chair
She started eating solids this month. One of her favorites: sweet potato
Sitting up like such a big girl! Sitting also comes hand in hand with squealing:)
She has become quite a little "helper"
After a very good fifth month, Sierra started having really bad bouts of tummy aches again. We took her to the Dr and they did an X-ray of her stomach/intestines. They found an irregular gas pattern and scheduled us for an appointment with a pediatric gastorenterologist at Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland. After looking at her tests he determined that she has Acid Reflux, Infantile Dyskesia (early colon muscle control), and possibly a lactose intolerance. He prescribed a medication to protect her esophogus from being damaged, a stool softener to keep her from holding her bm's, and also gave us a lot of other information on how to help with the reflux. We are also scheduled to have some more testing done (upper GI and stomach ultrasound) just to make sure that there is not something more severe going on. She's doing better already and we are praying that the test results show a completely normal upper GI system.
