6 month update

Kelsey had her six month check-up on Monday. She weighs 16lbs. and is 27 inches long. She is 55% for weight and 90% for height. She is still following the tall and skinny pattern. Kelsey had another round of shots and is set with them until her 12 month check-up. When we were there we found out she has an ear infection. She has been battling a cough for about 2 weeks now, and I had actually taken her in a week prior to her check-up to see what was going on. They put her on amoxicillin, but it didn't work. We took her back to the doctor today because after 3 days on the meds, her cough had actually gotten worse. It turns out so had the ear infection. Now they have her on a new antibiotic. I hope it works. She has not really been fussy through all of this. She just coughs like crazy. It is amazing that such a little body can produce such a hefty cough. We have been running the humidifier and having her sleep in her car seat to try to help her. Daddy was wonderful and spent the afternoon with her today so she could be home and try to rest there. Let's hope by the next blog post she has improved!
In other news, she is now getting up on all fours and starting to scoot. She is also fully capable of turning her body in the complete other direction by rolling and scooting. She grabs for things and is even able to put her own nuk in her mouth now after she pulls it out.
As for Matt and I, school and master's work take up a lot of our time. Actually, my current class has a very manageable amount of work, while Matt's classes are more demanding. Matt is also running the intermural basketball league which requires him to be gone a few hours each week. Plus, baseball is sneaking up on us. He is currently running camps for elementary students. Practice and games will be here before we know it and then life gets a little more busy. Busy is good though, right?
We have been in the middle of another arctic weather pattern lately and I am sure ready for a warm up. Is it spring yet? I am not sure I can take another day of indoor recess at school. The kiddos are starting to go stir crazy. I think it is a record of how many days they have been inside this winter. Bring on the heat!
I will post pictures this weekend! Be sure to check them out :)
