Michael's Development Blog

First taste of orange juice cut with water...and first use of sippy cup. He likes the juice and is fascinated by the cup but doesn't really consume much.

First exposure to stairs found him at the top of Grandma and Grandpa Curtin's deck stairs in an instant.

Standing unsupported for several seconds at a time and gets very excited :) Has been saying "Mama" and "Dada" for a couple weeks but not clearly associated with us...probably just a sound exercise at this point.

Last weekend Michael pulled himself into a kneeling position on Saturday in his crib. On Sunday he was pulling himself up to standing on anything he could use. A couple weeks ago he started crawling in earnest and now he can get across the room in a flash to get to anything he shouldn't be playing with.

Crawls for a few paces for the past week or so...won't be long now. Spitup has improved quite a bit over the last week, still not gone but not a constant anymore.

Been pushing himself up into crawling position for a week now. Seems like he will begin crawling very soon. Still Spitting up like crazy, hoping to stop the rinididine meds tomorrow as they're not doing anything.

Followup about rinididine/reflux  Rx. Increased dose to 2mL from 1.8mL 2x per day and suggested starting solid food. Still spitting up copious amounts, been taking rinidine for 2 weeks without change.
