Other Updates

In other news, Fiona had her one year check up finally. We were without regular health insurance for one month after Jeff started his new job, so we had to move her appointment from June to July. She's doing great. She weighs 20 lbs 7 oz and is 31 1/8 inches tall. This puts her at 25th percentile for weight, but 95th percentile for height. She doesn't look that unproportioned to me, but that's what the charts say. It was a relief to have the doctor unconcerned about her lack of interest in solids. She said it's probably just teething issues as there are a bunch of new teeth coming in and to just keep offering the foods and eventually she'll start eating more. She also wasn't concerned about her not eating table food. Fiona has a strong gag reflex that kicks up as soon as something lumpy hits her tongue. This includes soft fruits, bread, puffy treats, etc. She's interested but can't get past the texture thing. I'll be glad when she gets over that!

Here are a few pictures from a June trip to White River Gardens.

Bathing Beauty

I lucked out and had the day off work today so Megan and I decided to take Fiona to Riverside Park to go swimming. We got her all ready, coated her with sunscreen, got her stuff together and drove over to the park only to find it closed. I'm not sure why it wasn't open, but it meant we were a disappointed group. Luckily I have a wonderful neighbor who happens to have a pool and she graciously allowed us to use it. Fiona had a great time both at Annie's pool and back home with our own small wading pool.

She still has her quirky tongue moves, although they aren't as frequent as they once were.

Even though it's as big as she is, she insisted on carrying it over towards her wading pool. I'm not sure what she thought she was going to do with it, as it's almost as big as her wading pool. Unfortunately it dropped before she got there so I wasn't able to find out.

She never really got into the wading pool today. I think the water was still too cold, but she had fun splashing around in it.
