4 months old

Anna Claire turned 4 months old on Saturday.  She is growing so fast!
We started cereal on New Years day.  She is doing pretty good.  She has tried apples and sweet potatoes so far.  She is not a big fan of apples!  Maybe that will change.



Amelia got a basketball goal for Christmas from Mimi and Pop.  It was so nice outside Sunday, so we went out to play.

Amelia decided to join Anna Claire for a little tummy time.

Anna Claire had a busy week of doctors appointments.  We went to Memphis on Monday to meet with the GI specialist.  They think she looks great.  She is doing really well on the new antibiotic.  She had a lot of really green poop starting Saturday after we started it.  The doctor says that is called bile dump.  So, hopefully, her liver is getting cleaned out of all that bile that had built up.  We did labs on Monday, her liver enzymes are still elevated, but not any higher.  I'm hoping with all of this "bile dump" that the next check will be normal.  Thursday, we went to the Pediatrician for her 4 month check.  She is 15 #s, she is doing so good gaining weight!  She was told she looks great, and then she got her 4 month shots.  She didn't scream too long though.  She really did great.  She ran fever the next day, but has been fever free for all of today.  This is great.  She hasn't been completely fever free for a week now, so we are excited!  Hopefully no more trips to the hospital.  We are starting to feel normal again finally.  We will be on this antibiotic for at least 5 months, and I'm feeling pretty good about it!  
She is doing all the things that every other 4 month old is doing.  Rolling around more and more, starting to play in her exersaucer, trying to chew on everything she can get her hands on, and laughing and giggling.  I have some really good videos of the 2 girls.  Maybe I will try to upload them tomorrow.
