Well alot has happened since I last made and entry.  Elizabeth has been

• Eating solids since 5 months of age.
• Sleeps all through the night
• Wakes up in the morning with a smile on her face and talks to her stuffed toys in her cot.
• She can now fully hold her head up high when she is doing tummy time.
• At 6 months of age was able to roll over on her own and enjoyed it. 
• Holds and grabs objects
• Cracks up laughing when playing peek a boo
• Is recognising people and cries if she isnt familiar however will manage to have a laugh with them after a while. 
• Makes facial expressions and then laughes if I try to mimic her.
• Is able to stand on her tippy toes when I hold her up and kicks alot
• When you call out Elizabeths name she turns to acknowledge me.
• Today as I was feeding her, she grabbed hold of my sleeve and pushed the spoon to her mouth.
• Loves grabing my hair and pulling my nose :)  I guess I have to trim her nails again as I have scratch marks on my face ha ha!!  
•  She is also teething now and has been a little bit grumpy ohhh its okay Elizabeth)

Elizabeth is doing great so far with her Shunt and will be seeing the cardiologist in August to find out when the next operation will be.  Her weight gain is slower now but is well within the average.  I will keep you posted again soon.

Cheers Effie
