We Have a Roller!

Veronica is finally rolling on a more consistent basis now.  She's been doing so for a little while now but I just haven't taken the time to update the blog.  And I could never see, to get it on video.  The funny thing is, after all of these months of trying to get her to roll, now that she actually does it, she makes it look so easy.  Next we need her to roll from her back to her belly.  The occupational therapist still comes once a month but this month she will bring along a physical therapist to assess how Veronica is doing from a PT's standpoint. 

In other Veronica news, she has been dealing with a horrible cough and significant congestion for the last week and a half.  I took her to the doctor last week where she was swabbed for RSV, which thankfully  turned out to be negative.  We were given another prescription for albuterol (which she was given in the fall when she had bronchiolitis) along with pulmicort which is a steroid that is supposed to decrease inflammation in the lungs.  Since then we have been giving her nebulizer treatments around the clock.  Needless to say, our sleep has been quite disrupted.  Hopefully we are nearing the end.  It hasn't been fun for any of us.  Veronica has been a champ though and has maintained her happy disposition. 

By the way, at her doctor's visit last week she weighed in at 18 lbs, 10 oz.  19 lbs, here we come!

  3. Oh my goodness!! She is TOO cute!! Love the look on her face after she rolls! Wow, almost 19 lbs? Bella is barely over 15 lbs, and just turned a year. But she also has an oral aversion too. Just thought I'd let you know how adorable your little miracle is!! :)

  4. Yay!! Congrats to her!! She is such a happy baby! And so sorry to hear about the sickness. I know how awful it is, nebulizer around the clock is a lot of work, I hope she responds and that you can stop soon. All 3 of ours are on pulmacort and albuterol.

  6. Awesome!! That was a perfect roll! The way she rolls is exactly what I've been teaching Emilia but she still doesn't want to roll from front to back (only from back to front). Good job Veronica!
