Another cold...grrrr!!

We went to the pediatrician yesterday for Aria's 4th and worst cold of the season--he heard wheezing so he put her on albuterol inhaler with a spacer. It is surprisingly easy to give her the dose, once I pin her arms with my leg. She is a trooper and has a new toy--see below--which she is really enjoying.

The other news at the pediatrician...Aria has put on 4 lbs since her visit just 1 1/2 mos ago. She is now almost 19 lbs. We didn't get a height measurement since it was a sick visit. She has quite the gut and butt now, now to mention an extra chin. It is sooo cute!

Update...7 MONTHS!!!

Aria is doing great...despite teething and what I now suspect is a cold. She is getting around by rolling everywhere and scooting backwards on the hardwoods. With us she is always laughing and smiling--if strangers fuss over her she bursts into tears--real tears and lots of them. Very disconcerting for people :0 She quickly recovers and once she gets used to the attention, smiles and flirts =) She loves her exersaucer and spends most of her time in it pushing objects off the side for me to pick up.

She has been enjoying football season and following the Eagles, Redskins and Chargers. She is very excited that the Chargers have moved ahead in the play-offs and play the Colts today. Aria loves to eat all fruits and vegetables although I avoid peas now since they have unfortunate side effects and challenge my diaper changing, clothes washing abilities. No crawling or babbling yet although we spend a lot of our time saying mama and dada to her.
