Laney's checkup

Laney went in for her 6 month appointment on December 28th. At the time she was 16 lbs 6 oz (52nd percentile) and 27.5 inches (93rd percentile). Also at the time we discovered an infection in her right ear! As a follow-up to that visit, our pediatrician checked her ears again earlier this week. The right ear has cleared up, but now the left ear is infected. 5 infections in her first 7 months! We have an appointment with the ENT the end of this month to get some tubes...
I mentioned to Brian that she HATES baby food and cereal. We've been trying to give her solids since she turned 4 months old. She didn't want anything to do with it. She also wanted no part in rolling over. The very next day, I kid you not, she was eating three times a day. She also can roll both ways (front to back and back to front) since her visit. Yesterday she started scooting for the first time; she's on her way to a crawl. Kids just have their own timeline...
Laney is such an easygoing baby. She wakes up happy and doesn't let much bother her. I discovered one thing this week that she doesn't like: the boys growling. They don't get away with it often, because like most parents, I don't want my kids growling at each other like dogs. But if they do it nearby Laney, she just bursts in to tears. It's the most pitiful little thing...

That's a short update of who Ron lovingly refers to as his "little buttercup".

Amen to that! They do it when THEY'RE ready! And, our girls are just about the same size - so fun! Wish one was a little ahead of the other (age wise) so that we could pass off clothes to one another :-)
