Growing Girl

Well, I think the title sums it up: Our girl, she is a growin'.

Emmie had her 6 month check up last week. She weighed in at 18 lbs and measures 27 inches long. She is right on track with everything. She's sitting up VERY well on her own, working on crawling, and loves to have fun.

Within the same week we had to go back to see Dr. Reigner for a thrush & croup diagnosis. Sunday morning, Emmie woke up with no voice and white junk on her tongue. She was so sad. Emmie isn't a baby who wants to be held normally but all she wanted Sunday and Monday mornings were to sit in our laps. It was sweet and sad at the same time. So, the doctor gave her liquid Nystatin to take 4 times a day for 10 days. Mimi (Sherry) had the great pleasure of keeping her Monday night for us to go to dinner. I bet she had her hands tied! But Emmie had a great time.

Other than that, everything is great here. She's getting back to normal and we're heading to the lake in the morning. We'll be there for a week, home for a week, and back to the lake for a week. Maybe we'll come back with a tan baby & mommy....doubt it! By the way....HOLY CRAP you have to take a lot of stuff with you when you go on vacation with a baby! I don't see any other vacations in our near future!

Have fun this summer!

Long Time No Type

Sorry it's been so long. Leslie informed me today that I had to post. This thing is not letting me press enter so it's going to be one LONG paragraph! Emmaline is doing great. I'm sure she's 20 pounds by now. I think she's teething, I just hope they'd come in already, she's a big drool bucket! Since I last posted, she rolled over tummy to back (at exactly four months right in front of Dr. Reigner). Now, she's rolled from back to tummy too! The sad thing is though, she gets really ticked off when she rolls from her back to her tummy and can't figure out how to get back. She knows how, she just gets so mad she doesn't do it. She's still sleeping though the night and her reflux is doing well with medicine. I have to admit, that without her on her meds and me on mine, I think we'd both want to kill each other! She's been in the pool quite a few times now. She stayed 5 1/2 hours Saturday and loved it. I'll post the cutest pictures of her in her "kini" later. But for now, I've got to get out of the house to pick up a rental car (mine is broken), go meet lori for lunch, check on Melissa, and go to Savannah to the chiropractor about this stupid neck & hands. Until later, many drools to you!
