6 Months

Lexi turned 6 months on the 19th of this week (Wednesday). She is getting so big. She is so expressive and her little legs are getting strong too. She is still tall and thin. We went to the doctor yesterday for her 6 month check. Lexi weighs 14 lbs. 8 oz (21%), she is 27 inches tall (89%), and her head is 42 cm (36%). People comment that she looks rather petite. I do think she is skinnier than the other two. We are getting over thrush but she still has a runny nose. I did have Dr. Pete check her ears though to make sure there was no infection, luckily they looked good. We took Alegra with us to the appointment because I was pretty sure her one eardrum ruptured and sure enough, she had an ear infection. Like when she was a baby, she seems much better once it ruptures. We are actually holding off on giving Alegra the medication because she hasn't complained of ear pains since Wednesday night during the middle of the night when it probably ruptured. I switched Lexi to Oatmeal to try and help her constipation problems. She is rather stuffed and so I am trying oatmeal, adding more baby prunes to her diet, and water. If that doesn't help in a few days Pete said to call him and we probably need to go another route. I hope I can get her more regular on our own. Lexi is putting pressure on her arms when she is on her stomach. She rolls all over the place. She likes to laugh at the kids. She can follow a tissue when it is dropped. She is just so dang cute. I really could just eat her up!!!
