I have had all of these grand plans for several different posts, but sitting down and writing them as been as easy as nailing jello to a tree. (I've probably used that one before, but along with the "easy as herding cats" it is one of my all time favorite sayings. The visuals I get just crack me up.) So here's the breakdown.
1) Baby Belle had her 6 month checkup yesterday. She is 15.4 pounds and 25 inches long. Though she started out in the upper echelons of the percentile range, she has dropped down to the 27%tile for her weight. But trust me, she looks plenty healthy. She is also in the 15%tile for height. Guess she's going to be sweet and petite like the other Belles. Say what you want, clothes last a lot longer this way. And incidentally, I feel it is time for Baby Belle to have a tutu. Anyone know of tutu store? We seem to be lacking in tulle and fluffy stuff around here.
2) Clara Belle caught the flu. Well, so far she is the only one in the house who has succumbed. Fingers are crossed that no one else will fall. It hid hard on Sunday with her fever escalating to well above 104. But we were fortunate on Monday that she was a small member of society who they were being given Tamiflu. After her first dose she was improving, and by the time I was home with her on Tuesday...well, let's just say it was probably a lot easier on Chris on Monday when she was too sick to do anything. Let's go back to the expression "like herding cats".
3) Greta came home "sick" yesterday too. I have no idea what that was about, because she was no sicker than my left toe -- I crack myself up -- because she was as wild as anythind and her and Clara spent the second half of the day fully irritating each other. AND, I had to drag all 3 of them to the doctor for Baby Belle's well-baby visit. Ugh. 4 shots and a flu liquid thingy and a very unhappy baby, who woke up this morning still cranky and in pain. Poor thing.
Enough for now. I'll be back soon!
