New skills

I am happy to report that Mermaid is having a banner quarter. We have just reduced her seizure meds for the last time and if she's doing well after two weeks, she should be done. (fingers crossed) Her latest milestones and skills include:
*two teeth- four more on the way surprisingly coming in the right order and locations
*blowing raspberries-first seen at 3 months, but never since the seizures until now
*reaching
*grasping
*solo sitting for two minutes or more
*legs bearing weight upwards of six minutes at a time
*laughing at funny noises
*laughing when tickled
*increased communication of displeasure, for example fussing if I'm not there even if she doesn't need anything else
*bearing weight on one hand in crawling position
*rocking back and forth in crawling position
**plus-I've seen her pull up to crawling position 4 times, but only on carpet. She's a smartie, that one!
