Almost 7 months old....

Saturday Alexandra will be 7 months old. Things are still going pretty good. Alex still has fluid in her ears. She goes back to the dr the 26th. If the medicine she is on doesnt clear it up, the dr will refer an ENT to discuss tubes. FINALLY! I hate waiting and going through all the procedures, but understand its needed before the talk of tubes. For having her 4th ear infection that just keeps dragging, she is still in a great mood every day. She seems to be always happy, laughing and babbling loudly. She hears really well for having so much problems with her ears. Everything catches her attention. We are still trying to teach her how to drink out of a sippy cup. She prefers her NUBY cup over some others. I have increased her baby food intake as well. She seems to be lasting longer between bottles and not as fussy. We still have to hide bottles from her so she doesnt flip out when she sees one. She thinks she needs to have one every other hour. No crawling yet. She doesnt care for tummy time. I usually place her on her belly until she starts to whine or cry. She can snoot backwards on her belly. She tries to put her knees up under her but always plants her face into the floor. We try to stand her up against things for her to grab but she always wants to bounce.. so we let her and she falls.
Last friday Grandma Thayer watched her so we could see a movie. And then the following Saturday Grandma Scheible watched her to we could go to the Italian Festival w/ nick and Renee. Later we went to Peppers in greenwood. I drank more than I could handle and was praying to the porceline god.. not fun.. but its been while. I forgot how low my tolerance was.
