Happy New Year to everyone. My progress continues on in the new year. I'm such a wiggle worm that mommy and daddy can not hold me still. I'm trying so hard to roll over. I get all the way on to my side to play with my toys. I go from side to side like it is no big deal. I've gained a lot of neck control. Just today, daddy put me in my bumbo and I sat up all by myslef. Daddy was trying to hold me so I was sitting up on my own, bit I was just wiggling around too much to stay up. I'll tell daddy to include a picture of me sitting in my bumbo. Basically it is a seat that holds me in position and gives me a little back support. It's perfect for me to work on my upper body and neck strength. I continue to pick up and play with heavier and heavier toys. I'm such a happy baby that it is rediculous. I'm getting even more of a personality. When I grab my tubing and mommy and daddy tell me no, I purposefully go right back for it. And, when the give me a toy instead of the tubing to play with, I throw the toy and go right back at the tubing. I'm such a stinker. If you don't know, mommy and daddy were able to get away for a vacation. They went to Cozumel. I stayed home with the nurses and my grandparents and aunts and uncles kept me company. I had lots of fun and so did mommy and daddy. I pulled a fast one on mommy and daddy though. One of the days they were gone, I snuck down to Cozumel, see the picture below. the only bad thing was that daddy caught me and I had to go back home. I saw the gastrointestinal doctor the other day about all of my spitting up. He put me on Zantac and suggested that I get my gastric feeding tube changed to a jejunal feeding tube. That just means that the tube will bypass my stomach and go straight into my intestines. That should hopefully solve the problem. I need to have some other tests first. I will keep you informed. That is all I can think of for now, enjoy the new pictures. Love Liliana

Picture number 1 is me in my bumbo. It may look like my head is resting against daddy's arm or the dresser, but it is not. I am holding it up all on my own, and did so for about 15 minutes or so. Picture 2 is my playing in a fort that mommy made for me. She's the greatest! Picture 3 is me sitting up in daddy's lap. This is usually how daddy makes me sit up on my own, but sometimes I wiggle around too much to cooperate. Picture 4 is daddy making me sit up again. I like to look down at my kicking feet and toes and even try to touch them. Daddy has to support my head when I do this. The last picture is a picture of me when I snuck down to Cozumel. Daddy caught me on one of his scuba dives. Man was I in trouble.
