All clear

Just got back from our one month followup, and the ears are clear. Both!  What a relief, we won't need to be going to ENT for surgery consult.  I guess a good month of no colds does wonders.

So, the recent ear tugging and fussiness,..? Turns out Natalie is legitimately teeth. All four canines and the molars are all trying to break through all at once.  Poor baby

Oh, and the nurse weighed Natalie at 24 lbs!  Finally gained some weight after a good 4 month limbo

Happy 14 Months

It's only been 2 months since her birthday, and I feel as thought she's an entirely different person.  Still chatty, happy and plenty of giggles.  But now, she throws in a fake laugh or two.  Still hates her diaper changes, honestly can't blame her with the antibiotic induced yeast infection, but now she whines discontent even before we put her on the changing table.  And knows to throw mini tantrums. Haha.  She's gotten quite attached to her little rabbit doll, and insists we all give it "bbo bbo", kisses in Korean. As for her own kisses to mommy and daddy, they are more of a love bite.  Not a great eater in terms of quantity, but open minded to exploring foods.  Fruits are not a favorite, steamed veggies are a hit or miss, but she's still been liking yogurt and cheese. It's been quite some time since we took her to eat udon noodles, but she's had butter pasta and chicken noodle soup with half the zeal.

Oh, just how much we love her is so hard to express in words.

Pumping

Thought I was weaning..

But this just happened 

The Night I Need Sleep..

I ask for a little help

I mean, I just have one more shift of a 4 day straight 

And after barely trying for five, he dumps her in the crib. And she's just scream crying for the past 10..,

There's no way I can sleep like this at 3AM

Happy baby

Natalie's antibiotic induced diaper rash has improved significantly, & she continues to charm her G-Ma & G-pops (my parents) so much that they've been picking her up early from daycare at least twice a week. It really helps with James not having to leave work early. Side tracking..

She's showing no signs of ear infection, despite having one. I'm just really hoping for a quiet month& find out her ears self resolved on the follow up. She needs that break:):)

Oh, and where has my baby gone?

Sad news

I took Natalie to pediatrician since she finished her second course of antibiotics. Ear infection is still there, not as much pus but filled with fluids , we might end up at the ENT & worse case scenario is she will need surgery 

13 months

Nothing to report, other than being bummed out about the recurrent ear infection and subsequent diaper rash. Sigh..

Oh, I guess Natalie is very mobile. Most crawling, lots of climbing, and she loves to cruise against furniture and walls. Loves it so much she would get up in the middle of the sleep to speed crawl then try climbing the wall. Haha
