Catherine 6 Months

Catherine had her 6 month check-up last week, combined with a second follow-up after the pneumonia. The doctor said her lungs sounded great and her ear was finally cleared up. It took three different antibiotics to get over the ear infection. But, at least we are done with the antibiotics and breathing treatments. Yay for a clean bill of health.

She weighs 16 lbs 9 oz and is 27 in. long. I looked back at her 4 month stats, which had her length at 26.5 inches, so I think that one of these measurements is incorrect. Most likely, the 4 month was a bit too long. I really don't think she grew only a half an inch in 2 months.
For comparison, Caroline was 16 lbs. 10 oz. and 26.5 inches. It's interesting that their height and weight are so similar at this age.

We are all fighting yet another cold. We finally sent Caroline back to school the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, and we think she brought home another bug. She ran a fever the day after Thanksgiving and then developed a stuffy nose and cough. We have all managed to catch some degree of it, including Chris who hardly ever gets sick. We are really holding our breath that this is just a normal cold for both girls, but especially for Catherine. We were told that it is likely that any cold will cause another episode of wheezing for her.
