Since our last post, Jadyn's cold got worse before it got better. After tugging on her ears one night and again the next morning, we took her to the doctor, and she was diagnosed with a mild ear infection. She's about half-way through her antibiotics, and she's not tugging on her ears anymore. Yay! Plus her cold is almost gone now, having run its course. (Notably, her new playmates at daycare have lost their runny noses as well.) In the peak of her cold, she was waking some at night, and we thought she was just having trouble breathing. But NO! It turns out Jadyn is a little tooth factory. !!! She's getting three top teeth right now; one broke through last Friday, one broke through today, and a third is close behind. As if a cold, an ear infection, and new teeth aren't enough.... She is now pulling herself to standing with all sorts of objects -- tables, chairs, stereo equipment, the legs of a parent -- and then spending quite a bit of time in that standing position, bouncing a little and exclaiming with glee. She can also climb up on to the couch on her own. She's a complete joy, and her parents are barely one step ahead of her these days....
The bonus to having an unexpected doctor visit is that we got a weight update a little early. She was over 15 pounds! They weighed her fully clothed, though, so we aren't exactly sure how much she gained since her 6-mo check up. It's somewhere between 1.5 and 2 pounds over the last two months. We think her healthy appetite for solid food is really helping her grow, even though she is insanely active.
Jadyn is still attending yoga classes with Jenny once a week. Now that she is mobile, she can keep herself busy while the yogis are practicing, as you can see below.
When we get a chance to capture the new teeth in a photo, we'll post it here!
