Katie has turned 4 months old yesterday. The girl is growing, she is 18.8 lb and 25 inches. She is also developing. She is grabbing things, although she is still very unsure with her hands. She is quite comfortable sitting on my lap, even with minimal balancing support from me, and loves her exersaucer. She is clasping her hands, and even finds it ( Read more... )

Katie has had a cold for over a week, and started running a higher fever last night. So today Stacey took her to the pediatrician. Our little monkey has an ear infection, which totally surprised all of us, because she is smiley and cooeye, and practically her usual little self.

Simon's pediatrician is moving, so our decision as to whether to change doctors has been made for us. Oh well, I do like our pediatrician, now we just have to find another good one

Наш педиатр переезжает, так что наши думы на тему оставаться с ней, или нет, стали неактуальны. Эх, теперь опять хорошего педиатра надо искать.

It's not particularly bright to be sick at once. This week we're all sick. The only bit of luck is that Stacey managed to get a bit better before I came down with a massive cold. Si, of course of course, had to get a high fever virus. It's too bad that sickness can't be scheduled, so that there is at least one healthy adult in the house, two, if a ( Read more... )

Под катом детально расписаны наши последние медицинские приключения. Пишу я об этом только потому что вижу что у российских девушек с детишками все по другому, и им может быть интересно как с этим здесь. Для тех кому не особо интересно, краткое содержание: "У Сая простуда, но ничего страшного", дальше можно не читать, ничего не пропустите.

Simon is sick, and if I wasn't sick as well, you'd see a long post about american medicine and medical establishment. However, I feel like crap, so this is all you get. Oh yea, mom, it's OK, it's just a cold, don't worry ( Read more... )

Because Simon had to pneumonias so far, his pediatrician wanted him to go see a pulmonologist, to rule out serious problems.
