It's Quiet Around Here!

We are back down to 3 around here and it is very quiet in the house. We miss the Frisbys, but had a wonderful time the 2 weeks they were here. Hebe and Hattie are sweet, beautiful little girls and we can't wait to see how much they have grown when we visit England next Christmas. Matilda will be 18 months then and walking. I am already gearing myself up for busy flights.

She had her 5 month checkup yesterday. Actually it was more like a 5 1/2 month checkup. (With all the traveling we did, our schedule is a bit off.) She only gained 1/2 pound which worried me a bit, but the doctor was not concerned. She said there has been a lot going on with being sick, teething and visitors and now that she is noticing everything, eating is not a top priority. She is meeting all of her milestones so no worries there. She rarely shows signs of hunger, so I have put her on a 4 hour schedule. The doctor wants me to move it back to 3 to see if that helps. Hopefully next appointment we will see some more progress. She will have another round of shots which is never pleasant.

She is a tiny little thing and is still swimming in her 3-6 month pants if she doesn't have a cloth diaper on. Chrissy and I went through her 6-12 month clothes the other day, but it may be a bit before she is wearing them.

No other news to report, except that the tooth is slowly moving up from the gums. She likes to grab our fingers and chomp on them. Just a matter of time before the next one starts to pop out, followed by sleepless nights, runny nose and lots of irritability.
