Look who's 7 months!

Oh my goodness, time sure does fly these days. Last month, my little "Molly" (the insinkable Molly Brown) turned 6 months! To celebrate that we made it through, we gave her a cupcake...
Needless to say, she loved it, a lot. She certainly is not the same baby, amazing what a few months will do. She is a whole lot happier, and enjoys being here. At the beginning of the year I decided to let her cry it out. It took more than a few days, but she finally did it! I also found that if I went to her in the middle of the night, she had a harder day. Short story, I let her cry it out if she wakes up at night, because it means a happier little monkey the next day.
She had her check up yesterday. Surprise, she does have "acid reflux". I have seen 2 Dr's and 1 NP about this, and no one would do anything because she was gaining weight. Now that she is 7 months, he agree's something is not right and put her on medicine. If this does not clear it up, we will have to go see a GI specialist. I just feel bad for her (and whoever is holding her after her feedings) because she spits up a good half of her milk or food. But she has been a great sport.

I love that Kara has become so much fun. She is now pulling herself around, and is starting to get into things. She doesn't talk much, or babble, but can she really get anything in with 2 older siblings? Her hair is starting to come in, and sure enough, we have a red head for now, hence the "Molly". Either way, I am so glad she came to our family. I am glad she decided she needed to come, and didn't wait for mommy or daddy to say. She is truly a strong spirit, and I know she will do great things!
