Elise has grown from 6 months old to 8 months old. She started solid food and formula. She learned to crawl, sit up, stand, and cruise. She began babbling and dancing and playing peek-a-boo. She fits in the toddler stroller now, loves music, and loves the swings. She hates being confined so we have to coax her to stay in the baby rocker and playpen long enough to let us do chores. She picks up snacks with her fingers to feed herself, and will be walking within days... she's almost there. She's grown in height and even more around the middle, and she's got the cutest chunky legs.
James has also grown, in his own ways. His feet are gigantic; he just started wearing new shoes this summer and he'll need new ones again this fall. His t-shirts are still tight, even though his swelling has pretty much gone down by now: he's simply bigger. Two months is plenty of time for him to continue growing into his preschooler body, with IV nutrition pushing him along.
I hope he's home before he grows out of his entire wardrobe...!
