Bye Bye, Mullet

We took Greta to Cookie Cutters for a trim.  She was starting to sport a mullet in the back and it was pretty shabby all around.  So the stylist shaped it up for her.  Just a little trim, not even enough to save...but it looks much better.

 

 

 

 

9 Month Check-up

Our little girl is 9 months old!  We saw her doctor today and a routine blood draw to check for anemia and lead exposure proved to be traumatic for all three of us.  It took both Jace and I to hold her down while the nurse tied a turnicate around her teeny tiny arm and stuck a needle in her teeny tiny vein.  Lets just say there was a lot of screaming involved.  Am I painting a pitiful enough picture for you?  Daddy and I really needed a drink after that.  We settled for Wendy's instead.

Even after a few rounds of antibiotics, she still has fluid in her ears. So, her doc recommended that we see an ENT specialist.  So we will be doing that in the near future.  Hopefully we can get her ear issues under control. Here are her current stats:

Weight:  17 pounds (10-25th percentile)

Height: 28 inches (50-75th percentile)

Head: 44.2 cm (50-75th percentile) 

Until Springtime...

Justin, Dylan, and Reagan joined us in Monticello on Saturday.  It was an unexpected visit and it was so great to see them (missed you Nikki and Eagan).  We all went out to the farm to see Grandma and Grandpa Kilmer before they head back to Florida in a few weeks.

 

 

Purrrrrrr

Greta and I went to Monticello this weekend to celebrate Carrie's 30th B-day.  Of course Greta wanted to be festive for the occasion, so she went with her kitty cat ensemble.  We had a great time.  Seems like one of the girls is always missing...looking forward to all six ladies being together for our November road trip.

 

 

Mother of the Year

Greta's first goose egg.  The moral of this story: If you are going to shake a jar of baby food near your child's head, be sure you have a good grip on it.  I'm not sure who was in more pain, me or Greta :(
