Doctor Visits....

Yes, we have had more doctor visits. Last Sunday, Natalee had a high temperature (102.9) so I called & made an appointment that Monday morning. She had her 6th ear infection! We are still taking our amoxicillin. We go Friday to talk to the ENT to determine for sure if she has to have tubes. More than likely we will have to! I dread it but if it has to be done, it has to be done. She weighed in at 16 lbs. 10 oz.

I took her back this morning for her 9 month check up. Her ears have cleared up, thank goodness, but we will still have to have tubes. Everything else looks good though. She is right on track with her height & weight. This morning she weighed 16 lbs. 14 oz. She hasn't gained much but she is gaining! Natalee is now 26.5 inches long. I think she's gonna be a shorty! :) (just my personal opinion) But she may surprise us & hit a growth spurt.

We have been trying to start her on table foods. She doesn't really care for them at the moment, so doc said to give her a big spoonful of something & let her play in it every night to get her used to the texture. She will get some in her mouth & will eventually like it. If she doesn't like it after the 14th try, then she doesn't like it! He also said no fish, eggs or orange juice until one year, but said everyone gives babies eggs before then & as long as they don't have an allergic reaction then they should be fine.
