Well, we're throwing the GI's recommendation for increasing Mel's caloric intake out the window. The first night we tried it (the night of the last post), we were up with a very wired baby. Yes, his recommendation was to add SUGAR to her formula. So, next suggestion, please! My seven-month-old baby doesn't need sugar, thank you.

Mel is, however, going through somewhat of a growth spurt, it seems. She cannot get enough formula into that tummy of hers. Yesterday she was a champion eater, and then ate an additional TWELVE ounces over night! so she hit 34 ounces before midnight last night. That is a lot for little Mel - she averages around 24 ounces a day in addition to her other food. Maybe by the time she's done with this little growth spurt she'll sleep through the night more consistently??

Mel is now cruising through the house with her little walker toy she borrowed from Charlie & Sammie. After a couple of weeks of being more interested in the gadgets on the front of the toy, she is now pushing that thing ALL around. There is no walking for our Miss Melanie - it's straight to running! She crashes into walls and just keeps pushing, trying to tear down walls (she would have come in handy at Grandma & Grandpa Doans' house over the last couple of weeks!) Once redirected, she's off like a shot again. She's still working on bending her knees, but she LOVES to "walk"! And Lucas especially loves her continued mobility.

Where is the picture of that little darling? Glad to hear that she is going full blast through the house and eating so well. Look forward to Thurs.
Love, Mom
