The nurse practitioner said that Ellie is doing great! We still need to use the Calendula gel for the labial adhesion, but it looks much better. We can take Ellie to an occupational therapist if we want to have her evaluated, but we don't have to. She crawls using the back of her left hand (instead of her palm) about half of the time. She also spends most of the time she's on her feet on her tip-toes, or else with her toes curled under. The nurse practitioner saw her crawl and creep, and Ellie (of course) didn't display any of those actions for her. She wasn't concerned, so an OT consult would really just be for our peace of mind. We also need to practice waving bye-bye and clapping. I am pretty impressed that Ellie can give high fives, but apparently we need to focus more on waving and clapping, and less on high fiving. All in all it was a good visit, and we won't have to go back until Ellie is a year old!
