Lola had a 3 month check up a few weeks ago to get the rest of her 2 month shots (Mommy likes to split them up for her.) She was 12 lbs. 8 oz. at that visit. We headed back to the doctor on Monday because our sweet little angel was congested and coughing all weekend (still is...). On Monday, she was 13 lbs. 2 oz.--growing like a weed! We're still nursing a bit, but she's on mostly formula now, so I was expecting to see a little more meat on her bones! (See pics below.)
The doctor determined she's just got a little cold--hopefully she can kick it soon and it doesn't progress into anything further. We've got the humidifer on, are rubbing Baby Vicks on her chest and shooting saline drops up her nose. Lucky girl! Through it all though, she's still the smiley, happy baby she always is. I've decided being her mother is by far the world's easiest and funnest job--it's all the other stuff I have to do with my time that's a drag (cooking, cleaning, working)--on the other hand, I feel I'm "blessed with work"--a line from one of my favorite movies, Return To Me. Have you seen it? If not, you MUST! Beautiful story.
I digress...I can't believe the holidays are fast approaching! Lola's holiday ensembles have already been purchased (we had so much fun shopping together for the perfect dresses!) and our travel plans are set. We're staying in town for Thanksgiving & Christmas, but we're headed down to Florida to visit our family the first week of December. Hopefully, Lola's GiGi (Great Grandma Gracie) will be home from the hospital by then. Gracie, at the age of NINETY TWO, underwent back surgery a few weeks ago. She was doing pretty good, but then she developed a clot in her lung so they're working on getting that fixed so she can begin rehab again and get home where she belongs. Please, please, please say some extra prayers for our Gracie! We're getting so excited for Lola and her to finally meet--both are SO EXCITED!
Well, that's about it for now. Baby bear's about to wake up from her morning siesta in just a few minutes and I've got a million things to do as usual. So enjoy the new pics. I took them last week sometime. She cracks us up!
She's just a tad obsessed with her hands lately :)
