Well, our lovely miss Dalia K had her two month check up last week. She turns 11 weeks on Tuesday. Thought we'd give you the brief summary of her adventurous life so far. As you can see, she has lots of friends and family that love her and have traveled both near and far to see her. We are so lucky to bring her into such a loving and supportive community.
After only five weeks of life, Dalia got her first cold, which turned into her first ear infection, which necessitated her first antibiotic, which caused ridiculous GI track issues, which caused thrush, which necessitated more medicine, which sadly turned into an gross overdose of an anti fungal (five times what she should have gotten, only once, thankfully), which caused us alarm, but all was well. She is now free from sickness or medication and is back to her solid regiment of breastmilk from mama only. Oji (Uncle Stan) told us she was strong when she was in the womb, and boy was he right. She has thrived amidst all of this and we are so proud and heartachingly in love.
In all of this, Dalia learned to mimic sticking her tongue out, talking sounds like "hi" and "la" and even learning to laugh. She smiles each morning when she sees our faces now and it is intoxicating. She is a happy and active little lady, needing lots of attention, but learning to love her play mat and swing. She also loves sleeping on mommy in her sling and going out to lunch in her car seat. We are happy to report that at her two month appointment she weighed a woppin 12 pounds 9 ounces and measured 24 3/4 inches. Her head is 16 cm around (big brain of course).
