6 MONTH UPDATE

December 11th - Today Avery had her 6 month check up. Once again she was diagnosed with a double ear infection. David and I were shocked since a) she just finished antibiotics for an ear infection and b) she wasn't even acting like her ears hurt. This is her 3rd time having ear infections so the doctor said she is most likely on her way to having tubes in her ears. Looks like David and I passed on more than our good looks to Avery - our ear problems. Anyway, the doctor was pleased with her stats, which are below, and said she looked good.

Weight - 18 lbs, 2 oz (86%)
Height - 26.5 in (77%)
Head cir - 41.4 (21%)

So what is Avery up to these days? She is eating cereal, squash, carrots and green beans. She is able to sit up on her own for a couple of seconds. She is talking more and watches everything like a hawk. David and I are having so much fun with her; she is such a good baby!! What we need to work on, getting Avery mobile. How in the world do we do that?!?!

Avery sitting all by herself. What a big girl.

You might try an EarCheck (www.earcheck.com) to assist in diagnosing and monitoring an ear infection. It is a great little tool, I used it last night and it works. It confirmed that she had an infection so I gave her some Tylenol so she could sleep. I went to the doc this morning and he confirmed it. No more unnecessary trips and co-pays. It is great peace of mind!
