At the 6 month appointment they told us that we should not stop the Donnatal yet...though I am feeling like she may be getting to the point that she does not need it anymore. He wants her to outgrow the dose so that she is weaning herself from it. She also still takes Zantac twice daily.

Cooper is such a fun, pretty little lady. We are still grateful every day for the good baby that she is; with colic Cooper still fresh on our minds. Though her stats are all pretty high things about her seem so petite--like her tiny little hands and feet. I can not nurse Cooper if Mickey Mouse is on in the room. Whenever she hears his voice she turns her head to the TV and smiles one of the biggest smiles. The only really hearty laughs we get from the little girl are the result of her brother banging something on something else; she really loves him. And she always has a ginormous smile for Dad when he comes into view.
