Well, after almost two weeks of being sick, I think Macy is finally in the clear. She was cough-free for the weekend, so I'm hoping that's over. She also slept through the night again on Saturday night and last night. Hopefully her champion habits will return for good. We go to the doctor today for an ear check, and if all is good, then we go back for her six month appointment in a few weeks. I'm hoping we can end the antibiotic, as it has given her diarrhea (about 4 poops a day) and now what I think is a yeast infection (which, by the way, you treat with cream for jock itch :) ). The poor child has pretty much had every symptom that the doctor said she could get.
On a happier note, we bought Macy a high chair this weekend and started her on rice cereal. She seemed a little confused, but she did much better than I expected her to do. I think she ate about half of what we tried, so I call that successful. She didn't know what to do with her tongue, and by the end she was making funny faces that said, "That's enough, Mom." Another milestone reached!
I also have to mention that I think Macy has taken a new interest in her daddy. My mom babysat on Saturday night while we went out for awhile. We walked in the door, and Macy looked at both of us. She gave me a blank stare first, then looked at Dan and gave a huge smile. He, of course, was ecstatic. I was sad. What is it about boys that makes babies smile all the time? Amazing.
