We delayed solid food until 6 months since she was a little premature and oh so tiny, but she has taken to them like a champ! Lofton Elizabeth now eats rice cereal, oatmeal, green beans, peas, carrots, squash, bananas, apples, pears, and peaches. She generally has 5 bottles a day (i have officially weaned and we've made the switch to formula, freedom!!), cereal and fruit for breakfast, and 2 veggies for dinner. We're about ready for stage 2 foods. We cried it out at 6 months for 20 minutes one night and have since slept on average 11 hours a night. why didn't we do this earlier?? i just wasn't ready and i am ok with that :) lofton also giggles constantly and makes a "ba" sounds when she wants something. her favorite toy is the remote...
In less exciting news, Lofton had her first ear infection. I took her to the doctor because she had been coughing FOREVER and her lungs sounded fine, but her ears looked pretty bad. She never ran a fever and wasn't even fussy so how will I know?!! 8 days in to the antibiotic she broke out in a head-to-toe macular papular rash. poor baby! it didn't seem to bother her and dr. y (and dr. carly and dr. aubrey) says it may be a simple reaction to amoxicillin rather than an official allergy... her re-check was a few days shy of her 7 month bday and she weighed 13lb 4oz, practically a giant! i did pack up her 3 month carter's last week b/c the pants are too short. at this rate we'll be in the infant car sear for awhile...
below are a few pics. i took MANY more, but most were blurry b/c sitting still just isn't in the cards these days, but oh she is cute. we love you more with every day lofton elizabeth!
up next...our first Christmas and Santa's special present!
