I feel like I am starting to spend a lot of time at the doctor's office. Yesterday I took Kaitlyn in to check her ears. She had a rough night of sleep Sunday night and had been pulling at her ears. (Well, more like just touching them.) Not to my surprise she has double ear infections again... So back on the antibiotics... actually we are now using the shots of antibiotics. One shot yesterday and another one today. She is such a trooper. Friday we are going to meet with our normal doctor to discuss our options. Tubes? I really don't want to go down that path, but we might not have an option.
The good news is that she weighs 18lbs. 4 oz. Yeah! She is getting bigger.
What If?
I find myself playing this game in my head a lot as a parent. Sunday morning Kaitlyn was playing downstairs with Daddy. I decided I needed to put in my contacts and grab a bowl of cereal... I guess Nate didn't hear me say that Kaitlyn was staying downstairs because... As I was pouring my bowl of cereal I heard Kaitlyn. As I turned towards the stairs... there she was... at the top looking at me through the gate. My first thought... is wow she climbed all the stairs by herself... second thought.... What if she fell? The good news is that she did not fall and our teaching her to climb stairs has paid off... now we have to work on going down the stairs.
New Accomplishments!
Kaitlyn is going to one years old in 7 days. Wow! She is really starting to amaze us. She can crawl everywhere... nothing seems to stop her. She loves to follow us around the house. She loves to play the toilet drums... this is where she stands up on the toilet and bangs her hands. (It is part of our morning ritual.) Her only words are: Dada and Hi. I ask her to say Mama and she says Dada. Ugh! (Daddy loves this.) She is completely a mommas girl though... If I am in the room... it is hard for Daddy to have any cuddle time. Her newest achievement is walking along furniture and to pick up toys while standing.
She also loves to eat finger foods. She drinks from her sippy cup, but loves to throw it off her highchair when she is done. Cody loves to lay right next to the high chair hoping she will drop some of her food. We have only seen her drop food to Cody twice... on purpose.

Sorry to hear about all the Ear Infections. I know this sounds crazy but it could be an option. Have you tried a Chiropractor? There are studies out there if you want some more info on it. I am a firm believer in it for ear infections.
