Well RSV hit us a little over a week ago and it was no fun! My great little sleeper went back to a newborn schedule and was up every hour or two feeling miserable. She was wheezing, had a runny nose and an awful cough. We had to take her to get suctioned at the doctor's three days in a row- although it helped her clear the mucus, it was so hard to watch her. This was the first time Caroline has been sick, and the worst part is that she looked so sad and just wasn't her happy self. Most of the time she wanted to be held and mommy couldn't do much else last week except for lay around with our sick little C. She is finally feeling better and is almost 100% now, except for a little cough that we're told could hang on for a few weeks.
We had her 6 month appointment today and she looked great (and her lungs are sounding clear again!) Here are her stats:
Height: 27 1/4 inches (92nd Percentile!)
Weight: 15 lbs 2 oz (40th Percentile)
Head Circumference: 16 3/4 inches (57th Percentile)
Although she is still gaining, I am surprised at how much her weight has tapered off because she's such a great eater. She LOVES sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, peaches, pears, bananas and applesauce. She's not so excited about any of her green veggies, but she will eat them if I switch off bites with one of her preferred foods. Caroline will now hold her bottle most of the time by herself, tries to sit by herself, transfer toys from one hand to the other and is babbling and laughing a ton!
6 month pics and videos coming soon!
