While Jon was on vacation last week, he had a boys day out and took them to the zoo. I've heard at least 100times that they got to ride the tram 3 times and they had a lot of fun spending the day with daddy. I love that the boys love spending so much time with dad.
In Ellie news, she had her 6month check up today. She is up to 14lbs (10th%) and 25 1/2inches (she is now up to the 25th %). The main topic was her reflux. We have been giving her medicine and putting cereal in her bottles. Neither are helping. Because of her weight, we can't increase the dosage of her meds so we are switching them. We are going to continue to put the cereal in her formula and we need to make more of an effort to get her eating baby food. Hopefully the medication switch will do the trick. We need to give it 2-3weeks and if she hasn't improved, we need to take her to a gastroenterologist. After hearing that, I remembered we were in this exact position with Sam. The medication switch worked with Sam so I'm going to be very optimistic that this will work with Ellie too. The doctor didn't hear any wheezing this time so I'm going to put any asthma thoughts on the back burner. While we still can't completely rule it out, its sounding like less of a possibility. She also has impetigo (a bacterial infection). If you've seen her, it looks like she has a bad cold. Her nose is red and crusty. We need to give her some antibiotics and she should be good as new in a week. Other than that, she is perfect!
