She is how tall????

So we had an early check up this month. You all know that there is a normal 15 month check up and that actual date doesn't happen for a few more days. Due to the schedule at the Dr's office, we got Miss C in to see the doctor today.

Whenever we have a Dr's visit, we try to make it a fun day. We usually go to breakfast (or lunch, time dependent of course) after the appointment so Miss C doesn't associate these trips with just getting poked an prodded.

Ok, so here's what you all have been waiting for:

Height: 33 inches (yep, still >97%)

Weight: 26 lb 4 oz (yep, still 90-95%)

I don't actually keep track of head circumference since she has consistently been around 50% and the only use that number has for me is buying hats she will refuse to wear (;))! Besides, I am not exactly sure how accurate this reading was today because she is apparently very anti-head measuring. She started to flip out when the nurse went to measure her and even disliked it when I gave it a shot. Not sure what that's about. Has anyone else had that happen? I mean, have your kid just take a severe dislike to something like that?

Other than this, Miss C is just a wonderful little girl. She is really enjoying her new class and while she is the youngest, she teaches as much as she learns. We have discovered a new"game" as a result of her new class. Apparently some of the kids get their backs patted when they go down for a nap (thankfully, Miss C puts herself to sleep so we haven't had to adjust to the change in school) so when she plays with her dolls and animals, she lays them on the floor, covers them with a blanket and pats their backs. What cracks me up is that Miss C can do this for an hour, I swear! She goes back and forth between "dolly" and whatever animal she has on hand at the time (lately that has been either her frog or her sheep) and pats their backs or readjusts them. I will have to try to catch all of this on video one of these days so you all can see what we are talking about.

Otherwise, we're doing just fine. I finished my last class and found out I made the promotion list (I won't actually put it on or see the $ until next August but those are the breaks of finding out early) so I am really trying to relax a bit. I have a stack of books I would like to read sometime but as you all know, that is only possible when Miss C is asleep. On the plus side, she is reading more of her books to me so I am getting an interesting education in the world of board and lift-a-flap books!

So, how have you all been doing? Anything new on your end?

Another day

Sorry its been a while since I posted. We've been dealing with shift work, a sick baby, DH on the road and loads more fun.

Before I begin, a quick question, how do you know if the baby is completely over her ear infection? I ask because I was told that one of the kids at day care is on his third antibiotic for his ear infection and that worries met.

Ok, on with the show! Actually, there's not a whole lot going on other than the normal craziness. I am taking my last class for my Master's (yea!) while DH is still on the road and everything else. Miss C is getting better but for the past couple of days has been kind of clingy. I am not sure what prompted this. Might be another growth spurt, could be because of the shift or because DH has been gone a while. I am a little worried that she is constipated because of the meds (she is having more trouble with her #2s) so there's that. And, oh yea, I just found out that the day care won't give her the meds. Some policy they have that i was just now briefed on. Apparently I was supposed to get a parent guide but that managed to slip through the cracks. With Miss C getting her meds 3x a day and the day care telling me to take a break from work and give her the meds (not possible!) i am a little frustrated. I am hoping to hear back from her doctor about whether or not I can just split the middle dose into the other two and do it that way.

Well, I guess that's pretty much my update. We had a nice break between strings and got to spend some time outside. I am thinking about taking Miss C to the Farmer's Market after school on Thursday (they are only open 4-7pm on Thursdays) so that should be fun. DH is scheduled to be home on Sunday, yea! I hope ya'll have had a chance to get out and have some fun too!

Don't forget my question. If you have any experience with ear infections, that would help out a lot! Thanks!
