Well Baby??

Today was Bear's six month "well baby" check-up.  Feeling oh so proud of our little toothy daughter (yes, getting two teeth IS an achievement!) you can imagine the feelings of careless, irresponsible failure upon hearing that she has not one, but two ear infections.  How can this be?   She has been so happy!  No fevers since sprouting the teeth!

Waiting for papa to get home in the morning

She is now a whopping 15 pounds, 15 ounces -- leveling out at the 50th percentile -- and 26 1/4 inches long (tall? almost) -- which is the 60th percentile.

As for those ears?  We'll keep an eye out for intensifying symptoms and hope that this is not a recurring issue for the poor dear.  Our (new) pediatrician is not an automatic pharm pusher, so we are waiting to start any antibiotics.  I feel exceptionally proud that so far she's only had vitamin supplements for vaccines and probiotics in her little system.  We will see if this round requires anything stronger.  And sadly, no swimming for a week or two.
