Claire 7 months!

It's hard to believe that Claire is already 7 months old. Time sure does fly by when you're having fun! Claire woke up last Friday with a horrible cough. I took her to see the pediatrician and he diagnosed her with an ear infection. He started her on an antibiotic and she is feeling much better. While we were there, he looked at her head and neck, as he usually does. Claire was born with a flat head on the left side and torticolis. It is due from the way she was positioned in utero. She has being going to PT since 3 months of age and has improved so much. But the shape of her head....not so much. So he suggested going to an orthotist for evaluation. He evaluated it today suggested that we put Claire in a helmet. That's right a HELMET! She will have to wear it for the next 2-3 months for 23 hours a day! Only one hour off for a bath and a little breather! I'm not too excited about this, but I know that it will help her little head. She had to be casted today for it and should get it in about a week or so. But I ordered a cute one with colorful butterflies!

On a better note, she is trying to crawl. She can get on all fours and she rocks back and forth. She has been doing the army crawl all over the den. She is sitting very well and is talking a lot. She says da, da, da all the time and has finally started saying mum, mum, mum, especially when she is really tired. We have been practicing alot to say mama and she is so close! I do have to say she is so smart! She paty cakes all the time and has learned to "high five!" We're so proud!
