Selah's First Word

Selah said her first real word--Dada! Of course, Tim is proud that he is the object of her first word. Selah loves to "talk," and even cooperated for me tonight by saying Dada for the camera!. At seven months old, she is such a sweet baby. We are all enjoying her so much. When she was one month old, Hardy said, "God really gave us a great baby," and we all agreed.
Selah's favorite activities are: eating, playing in her walker, and sleeping. Selah loves, absolutely loves, to eat vegetables. Sometimes Tim will try to skip giving her vegetables and just give her fruit with her rice cereal, but she won't eat it--until she first has her veggies! She loves to play in her walker outside our house by the kids' tree house in our beautiful fall weather, which has been in the 70's. Her sleep is also great; she sleeps 11 hours at night and then takes two naps that are about two hours long each. I put her on a baby schedule called Babywise when she was born and she has done so well with her routine.
An update on Selah's head. Due to another appointment for the casting of the helmet (which is 2 weeks away), plus having to wait about another two weeks to get the helmet, it looks like in about a month we will start (sigh). Honestly, the waiting part is the hardest for me. I've accepted the fact she has to wear a helmet, but it's hard to accept that we can't get going on this now. One thing I am trying to learn is that since this whole situation is out of my hands, I had better leave it in God's hand. Thank you for your prayers; we are so thankful to have wonderful friends and family be so encouraging to us.
