Never doubt the intuition...

There are somethings I don't think I will ever understand.

How does that frequent flyer know that today of all days he should miss his flight, and that is the day the plane crashes?

How does the nurse know that the patient is just about ready to code (have a heart attack) and the patient is in ICU alive because she convinced the doctor and the patient was in the ICU when the patient coded?

How does the mom know that something is wrong and needs to go to the Doctor, and sure enough her daughter has an early ear infection?

Never doubt those "gut feelings" as they always seem to pay off. Sure enough yesterday I just knew that Delilah's ear irritation had progressed to a full infection and to hopefully prevent having to use the stronger antibiotics on her again, I wanted to catch it early and sure enough, I took her in and she was in the early stages of the ear infection. So we are trying the high dose Amoxicillin which is actually the lower end of antibiotics and we shall see if this clears. I am unsure if I should pray that it clears or pray that it doesn't respond because if it doesn't clear we are headed straight for tubes. If it does clear we still need to decide do we still just wait this out and see what happens or do we say enough is enough and just go for the surgery and get tubes. It can not be good for a child to be on antibiotics as much as she has. The thought also that we are starting to enter into the key speech development stage makes me nervous and I want to make sure she can clearly hear the needed sounds.

So remember trust your instincts becuase they always seem to pay off.

Yep had to do it. We decided to put Delilah just in the tub and not use her ducky and she loved every moment of it. Hope you enjoy the fun.

Instead...

Instead of taking the time to resize all the pictures I decided to just make lots posts. So here is Delilah in her new pool from aunt Regina at her pool playdate. Then it is Delilah's one year professional picture.

More pictures...

Here is more pics from her first birthday. Keep in mind we had been at the zoo all day and had eaten at Valentinoes. So we aren't the prettiest looking group but Delilah sure is cute. Man the tree has grown too.

It's been a year...

I know I am late but it has been busy lately. Things don't ever truly seem to slow down. It has been a year since the blessed birth of our daughter. I feel so very lucky to have such an amazing daughter. She is growing well. Her weight is in the 64 percentile. Her height is in the 46 percentile. Her head is in the 94 percentile. I am surprised with that her big head that she can walk as well as she can. In the last two weeks she has really taken off with her walking. She has four words that we know. Uh-oh, no, Joe (our cat) and Ab (for Abby our other cat.)

Daddy's girl

Daddy's first day home with her during summer break and see what he can get her to do. Grandma and Grandpa I really hope you enjoy. We will have her walking to you the next time we see you.

Finally...

Finally we got her to do it today. May 29th in the afternoon on Jarrod's last day of school, she finally decided she would take some steps without assistance. Now her first attempts were better but I was so excited that she was doing it that I forgot to get the camera until after she was getting tired. But we were still able to get some shots for Daddy to see. Thanks Aunt Regina for helping her take her first steps. Was a very proud day for mama.
