She's on the move!!

Ella outside with mom on a beautiful May day!

She did it tonight! She started to crawl! Not to shabby for a little girl with Hand foot and mouth disease!

Yumm!

 In an effort to save some money and make some tasty food for ella, I have decided to make my own baby food. Who knew it could be so easy! Above is 1 bag of carrots, peeled chopped and ready to boil.

 Cooked and ready to process. I added some of the cooking water to the carrots to make them smoother.

 Yummy!

 This silicon baby food tray was a gift but you can use ice cube trays.  One bag of carrots made 15 1oz servings.

Ella loving the carrots momma made!  She loves squash and cereal, however green beans she was NOT a fan of. The faces she made were hilarious! 

YAHOO!

They are gone!! The wicked ear infections are gone!!!  If you would have asked me monday if she was better I would have said definitely not, but tuesday night she slept through the night.  And yesterday we went to get her ears checked and VIOLA gone!  I was coming to the realization that we were probably going to have to see the Ear nose and throat doctor and most likely get tubes.  This past week she was on Azithromicin and I tried Colloidal silver drops in her ear and whether it was one or a combination of the both but something worked. 

So my happy, curious, giggly, smiley, energetic little girl is back to being healthy, which makes me one very happy mom!

Just can't shake it!

Sorry don't know why its sideways again, it was from my phone.

Well this little girl still has her double ear infection, we are on our third bottle of antibiotics and if this last one doesnt work looks like we are getting tubes. Cross your fingers please, I would really like to avoid surgery if possible.  My husband said if she is this happy with ear infections what is she going to be like when her ears don't hurt.

Just can't shake it!

Today we had Ella's 6 month check up.  Good news is she is growing and right in the 50% percentile! Bad news is the antibiotic that she is just finishing up did not clear up her ear infection.  So we are trying another one.  I know in the big grand scheme of sickness this is normal and not to bad but it still stinks! No wonder why she has been a little goofy and clingy sleeping!Ella is now 16 lbs 1 oz and 25 3/4" long!
