Girlie Update

It has been awhile since I recorded any data on our little wee one. So I have some evidence to give her when she is 20 and tells me I didn't do anything to preserve her childhood here goes-

On 6/18/07 she had her 6 month visit. She weighed 15 lbs 5 oz and was 25 1/2 inches tall. We both agree she is chunkier than other two were but everyone who sees her says she is small.

She now has two teeth. They both came in over the past week. She is enjoying several solids foods- green beans, peas, prunes, apples, oatmeal, rice, avocado, zucchini and her favorite, broccoli.

She is a real sweetheart and we adore her. She is much more laid back and content than Jotham and Karis were and if it weren't for her ear infections she would be a very easy baby. But even with those she is still very pleasant to be around most days.

As for her ears- she got another infection while we were away, went on antibiotics which did nothing for her, we took her back to the doctor they day we got back and she still had a pretty bad infection and a lot of fluid in her ears. She went on another antibiotic. At this point the doctor is leaning towards recommending tubes. We have an appointment to take her to an allergist, since I read some interesting articles about ear infections and allergies. If you think of her please pray for healing. We can tell when she has fluid in her ears because she stops babbling and cooing and only cries. But when the fluid is gone she says, mamamama & babababa- it is so sweet.
