So Cambry is now 11 months old. In less than one month she will be turning one!! I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. She has grown to be such a cute and fiesty little girl. She is very quite tall for her age but yet she is pretty petite at only 16lbs. She is learning to walk without support. Just the other she took like two or three steps without even thinking about it! I won't be surprised if she is completely walking by her birthday. She is also learning the fine motor skills like stacking things, put things through holes, and pushing buttons to make her toys play music. She loves to look at pictures in books, and be read to. She does very well at playing by herself, which is really nice. She can entertain herself for a good hour at home. She loves to torture the poor cats and the dog. Lilly doesn't really like her, she tries to avoid her. Diesel will put up with her for awhile but then runs off. And well Lizzy loves her. She licks her and plays with her. She lets Cambry climb and walk all over her, pull her ears. They are really good, except that Lizzy is getting bigger and even more clumsy. She doesn't understand the concept of walking around things. She always walks through or on everything. She tends to push Cambry over because she will walk right between Cambry and the couch when Cambry is standing up. I'm trying to teach her to go around things, but its not working so well. Cambry has also started to test us. She is doing the whole crying for what she wants that she can't have thing. So we have been just ignoring her and then about 30 seconds later she is over it and already playing with another toy. So I'm hoping that everyone else that watches her notices that that is what she is doing and will do the same. Just ignore her or give her another toy. DO NOT GIVE IN!! She knows how to get what she wants! So over all she is doing good, progressing really well, learning quickly and growing too quickly. But a couple weeks ago she came down with gastroenteritis. Its a stomache and instestinal infection that has been going around. She had diarrhea for a few days but acted normal so I didn't think much of it. Then on the fourth day she woke up and didn't want anything and was very cuddly but seemed tired. So I got her to take her bottle and as soon as she got done eating most of it she threw it right back up, three times!! And then she was crying and shaking and was really weak. So I took her in and they told me to give her nothing but pedialyte and water every ten minutes, then to try just bland foods food for the next day, then try formula. She got over it and has been ok since. But since she had such bad diarrhea she now has a really bad diaper rash. I have tried everything. Desatin, ButtPaste that the nurse gave me, A&D ointment, UdderCream. Nothing is helping and it doesn't help that she is filling her diaper every hour or even more often. I'm not sure what to do. I think its because she is eating more solids but I'm not sure. So if anyone knows any tricks please let me know!!
