Well, we had a doctor's appointment yesterday. It was the 6 month check up for Elena, and it went ok. The bad news first... when they checked her ears, she still had fluid in one of her ears. It was the same ear that she had the ear infection in a couple of weeks ago. SOOOO, they gave her some augmentin (stronger antibiotic) to get rid of the infection completely.
The good news is, she is a healthy, happy, normal 6 month old. She talked so loudly during the appointment that I couldn't hear what the doctor was saying, and I had to give her a binky so we could talk! The doctor said she looks good and was impressed by how well she sits up and talks!
Now for the numbers...
Length: 25 3/8 inches (25th percentile)
Weight: 15 lbs 3 oz (30th percentile)
Head circumference: 17 1/4 inches (75th percentile)
So, in case you can't do that math... Elena is a little girl with a big head! :)
Truthfully, I'm a little bummed by the ear infection. I really don't want our little girl to be sick all the time. But I guess that's life in a day care. And she's a c-section baby. I just wish there was something we could do to keep her from getting ear infections.
But I am thankful for her health. Of all the problems to worry about, ear infections are not the worst. And she's still a beautiful, happy baby, even when she's sick! Stay tuned for pictures of Elena with her new cousin after this weekend! Next to 6.5 pound Leila, Elena is going to look like a giant! :)

Ha, a little bitty with a big head. Charlotte is a little bitty with an even littler head :) They are cute little bitties though, with really cute heads :)
Sounds like she's doing great! Ear infections stink, we know how that goes.
I hope this antibiotic kicks it for her.
She's such a big girl!!
She's just a little peanut, with a Price head :) Hope she's feeling better soon, poor thing!
1st time checking out Elena's blog...she is pretty amazing.
