Ella is 27 inches long (90%), 16 lbs. 5 oz. (50%) and her head is 42.5 cm (50%). She is tall and thin...just like her dad.
But here's the thing that makes me even more amazed about how good Ella was yesterday at Stake Conference (and everyday)--she has an ear infection! I had NO idea. She has been cheerful and happy. She just has been a bit of a fitful sleeper for a couple days, but I just thought she was having a normal sleep regression in preparation for a growth spurt. Nope, a full-blown ear infection.
Granted, none of the boys ever really had an ear infection and Hannah had like 5, but that was a long time ago. So I am kind of an ear infection novice. Still, I feel bad. I just had no idea.
So, we've got a chiropractor appointment this evening and she has some antibiotics and tea-tree oil as well as tylenol for the moment. We'll get her fixed up in no time. Poor little ladybug.
One funny to note. Michael still was not in top condition. Definately on the mend, but not 100%. So he stayed home again today to rest and catch up on calories. He came along with me to the doctor's office for Ella's check up. When the doctor came in, Michael ran up to him and held out a quarter and gave it to him. "Here's a tip for you!" he proclaimed. The doctor got a good chuckle out of that and then returned the quarter at the end as a reward for being such a great listener and good brother.

Poor baby. She's such a sweet girl. How are you supposed to know her ear hurts if she's not screaming about it? I hope she feels better soon.
hi kim
the best thing for ear infections is the Eardoc.
What a good baby. She was still acting so sweet that you didn't even know she had an infection.
Have fun at the Veggie Tale's concert tonight!!
