Super Baby!

Mireya is amazing! I put her in her crib to play and I stood in the doorway for a minute. She wanted to follow me, so she grabbed hold of the bars and pulled herself up! I couldn't believe she was standing there looking at me like it was no big deal! She isn't even 7 months old yet and she can pull herself to a standing position.

Jason and I have been putting her up next to things and letting her hold on for a little while now and we thought that was incredible. We never thought she would start to pull herself up so soon. We were worried that she might actually go up and over the side of the crib, so we lowered it. As soon as we put her back in, she pulled herself up again. This time we caught it on video. Check it out here. There is also a video from earlier today where she is standing at the side of her playpen eating the rail.

Baby girl, you are one strong cookie!

Again?!

Mireya has another ear infection. I took her to the pediatrician a couple of days ago and thankfully we caught it early. It hasn't even been a month since she finished her last antibiotics for her previous ear infection. I am really afraid that she is going to get so many that she's going to end up with tubes in her ears. I remember having mine put in and taken out. It was not fun!

The pediatrician said that she is getting ear infections, because of all the congestion she's had. The congestion is either due to colds or allergies. In case it's allergies, the pediatrician started her on Zyrtec. I really hope that helps. Poor baby girl has felt so crappy off and on for at least 6 weeks now. She's still teething, she's on her second ear infection, she's gotten sick at least twice... good grief! She started out so healthy and I was really hoping that she would stay that way, but I guess it's inevitable that she is going to get sick.

6 month mark!

Mireya has finally hit the 6 month mark and had her wellness visit. There, she received her immunization shots, which are never fun, but are important. Here are her stats:

Weight: 14 lbs 11 oz, 20 percentile
Height: 26.25 in, 64 percentile
Head Circumference: 16.5 in, 30 percentile

Mireya has been sick with an ear infection.

Sept. 5th!

Mireya is 6 months old today! We can't believe how big she's getting. She's chubbier and busier than ever! She definitely has her daddy's looks, but she sure has her mommy's personality. She is sweet, sassy, incredibly smart, strong and loud. She loves to scream. She screams when she's happy, she screams when she's mad. Everyone else thinks it's cute and funny, but we are pretty sure we're going to go deaf. Ok, so it is pretty cute, but somedays we need earplugs.

Mireya is the most amazing and  joyful little baby girl. We can't believe we got so lucky. We love her so much and we can't wait to see what the days and months ahead hold for our little family!
