6 month checkup
Declan went for his 6 month checkup this morning. We've been feeling like we're on death's door for the past week. A rash showed up on both of us this morning - illness deemed a virus - and supposedly we'll feel all better tomorrow.
Declan has grown about 2 inches in as many month (is this possible??), but not gained any weight. I was told to add another serving of cereal to his daily diet - cereal 3x per day.
No one has any clue as to why Declan's right nostril is permanently snuffly. Still. We're going to wait it out a bit and see if it corrects itself as he grows. He can eat and sleep OK and we're not interested in having tubes shoved through his nasal passages or monthly xray checkups unless there's a really good reason.
We're also still not sure what the red splotch mark on Declan's right thigh is. When I first noticed it months ago, I thought it was some kind of bruise. When I had the doc look at it today, she was puzzled. She proclaimed that it was neither a birthmark or a hemangioma - so, again, we will wait and see. I'll have to take another close look and see if the marking resembles anything - maybe it's the mark of a prophet - :P
Otherwise, the boy was deemed healthy! And a major flirt.
In other Declan news, both top front teeth have sprouted through - he's VERY cranky on the teething level right now. The guy is also pulling himself up - but only when presented with an opportunity. He has yet to maneuver himself over to something - phew!
Mika has decided that both she and her brother will be ballerinas. So it goes. One afternoon with Ava and it's all about the ballerinas over here.

Ugh...those pesky viruses were making the rounds last week here too. Hope you are feeling better! Teething on top of illness? Double ugh!
I love how Mika has decided that her brother will be a ballerina!
