Cheerleading for my baby

This just in: Hester graduated from Early Intervention this morning. YAHOO! She's a star and we're so happy for her. The assessment was HARDCORE but she did great. I'm relieved to put those visits behind us.

Also, we learned that Hester has her 2nd ear infection. We thought we were going to have to take her to the ER last night when she couldn't lie down without screaming, but eventually she fell asleep. She was her usual chipper self this morning, but we knew something was wrong. Petunia took her to the doctor just after her EI assessment and now the 2 of them are at the pharmacy getting the kid more pink stuff. Poor little baby! She sure tries to tough these things out.

And finally, at the doctor's office Petunia learned that Hester had gained 2 lbs. since her last visit. The doctor was v. pleased and said that Hester's doing great weight-wise. She's now a respectable (smallish, but solid) 15 lbs. 12 oz. Yay, baby Hester!

So that's the news from here. Yay for Hester Willa!
