Ear infection, hair cut, rice cereal, and doctor's appointments

That basically sums up our last 2 weeks. Brooklyn spiked a 104 degree fever one day so I brought her in and she ended up having ear infection. So she was put on Amoxicillin first and after a reaction to that they switched her to a different antibiotic. She is much happier now, but still has her stinking cold! We were at the doctor 4 times in the last 3 weeks...hopefully it will be a while before we need to go back again :) At her last appointment she weighed in at 15 lbs. 4 oz. with a full diaper on (80%) and was 25 & 1/2 inches long (80%). Brooklyn also got her first hair cut. I guess I should have gotten a before and after picture, but I didn't think of that until now :)
Brooklyn has started eating rice cereal at night. The doctor thought this might help her sleep better at night. No such luck so far! The first few times were quite a mess but now she is getting better at it. This week I've been feeding it to her in the bathtub....it saves on laundry :)

Brooklyn loves being outside. We go on lots of walks. We hung up a swing in the backyard and she enjoys that too. I bought a bike trailer on a garage sale last weekend so we will have to see how she likes that. Speaking of garage sales, I made a haul at one for Brooklyn. I got 14 Carter outfits and my total was $20!!!! The lady had $1.00 or $1.50 on each outfit. I was pumped!!!

I will leave you with some pictures and a video. Brooklyn loves to giggle. The video isn't the best quality but it will have to do for now. Have a good week!
Brooklyn had her pictures take at Penney's

  1. That is NOT your mother. You are the one making Brooklyn laugh...don't try to fool us! :) Anyway....love the pictures - my favorite is the 2nd JC Penny one. They all turned out well though! We have to get together again soon! - Steph
