Only 2 more months



until our little girl is a year old!! This year has been so long, yet gone by so fast. We weren't scheduled for a 10 month check up but Cohen was having some ear trouble so she got one anyway. She is really having problems with her right ear, that was the one that caused her to need tubes, she had one ear infection that NEVER went away. We were hoping after tubes that this would help this situation, but it has helped to drain the infected fluid out, but however too slowly. She has had 2 ear infections (or 1 that just wont go away) this month, so she is on another round of antibiotics and if doesn't help then we will get some powder from Marty's Pharmacy that they compound to "puff" in her ears to hopefully kill eaverything. If not then back to Dr Lee to decide the next step. Her ears clearing up are so important to her and us as we try to eliminate all factors that might mask as a delay. Hypothyroid kids have a tendency to have speech delays and she is already delayed in her language skills we know but we would like to eliminate the factor that it could be because of hearing difficulty, so we hope that one of these solutions will help.
What else is Miss Cohen up to?
  • pulling up on EVERYTHING--don't stand still too long, she will pull up on your legs!!
  • attempting new textures of food-- she sort of gags easily
  • stealing all of Big Brother's toys
  • loving bathtime, if Kinson doesn't drowned her first!
  • sleeping 11+ hours a night, and she looks too cute in the morning to wake her up so we open the door and hope noises will wake her up
  • attempting our 6th or 7th sippy cup....this hasn't been going so well
  • wrapping herself around her Papa's finger! She didnt have to try to hard!!
