Fiona had her first real illness this week. She has had a runny nose for a few weeks and it escalated over the weekend. Emily took her to the doctor and she had a double ear infection and double pink eye (although not that advanced yet). Fiona got augmentin to combat the pink eye, ear infection, and congestion. We are not sure where Fiona picked up the germs but daycare is the likely culprit.
On a happier note, Fiona weighed 13 # 10 oz which is over a 1lb increase in a month. Fiona loves her antibiotic so there is no problem getting her to take the medicine (the enticing flavor probably doesn't hurt) and she has had no side effects yet!
Fiona can sit unassisted but we have to stay close. She is soooooo close to rolling onto her stomach it is crazy. Not much longer now.

Fiona update- 6 mo doctor visit, Nashville, and more
Fiona is 7 months old now so this is a little late.
Her 6 mo doctor's appointment went great. Her stats:
height:25 3/4 which is 50th percentile
head: 16 1/4 which is 25th percentile
weight: 12 lbs 8.5 oz which is less than 5th percentile!
The doctor was not concerned about the weight yet but would have been happier if Fiona had a little more weight to her. We were eagerly given the green light for solid foods.
So far Fiona is eating the following foods:
Baby Oatmeal (although we are taking a small break to assess if there is a food sensitivity here)
carrots
sweet potatoes
broccoli
applesauce
bananas
prunes
cherries
Still to come:
pears
blackberries
cauliflower (ick)
grapes
Emliy has made carrots, prunes, sweet potatoes, and broccoli. Making baby food is definitely a learning experience as to portions. She made 3 medium-large sweet potatoes the other day which translated into 54 servings of sweet potato puree! Next time we will be using the food processor instead of the Magic Bullet.
Naptime is going MUCH better these days. Fiona even naps at daycare! Her typical schedule is:
6:45 milk
9:45 milk
11/11:30 solids
12 nap
2 milk
5 milk
7:30 milk and bedtime
Sometimes there is a nap between 5 and 7.
Fiona only has a few weeks left of daycare until Kevin keeps her for the summer. She has been moved up a room at daycare so there are more kids in her room (and more germs :().
Fiona recently went to Nashville to see Rebecca, Emily' cousin and Fiona's godmother, sing in her senior recital. Rebecca was amazing but Fiona was the real hit of the weekend. She passed out at the end of the party but was happy and responsive until the end. It was very similar to the baptism where Fiona refused to close her eyes until she just had absolutely NOTHING left. So cute.
Next weekend we are off the Pikeville for Easter and then looking forward to spending some extended time at home. Fiona changes and grows so much every single day. It seems like she has a new talent almost every day.
ps- Kevin sits Fiona in the boppy while they watch sports. She does ok at first but then starts to tilt. Once she tilts it is hard to get her to stay upright again. Fiona still hates tummy time but will roll from her front to her back on purpose. We still can't quite get her to roll over from her back to her tummmy...those darn arms keep getting in the way.
