There goes my mother of the year award...

We took Annabeth for her 6 month well check today. It started out so well. She showed off her sitting and crawling abilities, and the crowd (read: Mama, Dada, and Dr. Injac) went wild. She then proceeds to smile and wiggle through the exam, much to everyone's delight. Then he checked her left ear. (Hear the sound of the other shoe dropping?) His smile disappeared. Evidently she has a raging ear infection. That would explain some of the night waking, except for the fact that she has always had lots of night waking (thank you, acid reflux). We feel lucky if she only wakes us up twice a night. So, now we are taking antibiotics for the next ten days. Then we get to go back in two weeks, check her ear and get her 6 month shots (I don't like vaccinating a sick kiddo).

Here are her stats as of today:

15 lbs 5 oz - 29th percentile

26 inches - 48th percentile


She is a little shorter and a little chubbier than Savannah was at this age. She was 27 inches and 14 lbs. It is nice to have a more proportional child. It sure helps the clothes fit better!!

I promise to have a thorough Savannah update soon, she is such a sweet big sister!!

If it makes you feel any better, I was never even a nominee. :) I promise that Shiloh and Annabeth are totally involved in a "Mommy and Daddy do not need to sleep ever" conspiracy. Hopefully the meds will help on your end!!
