Another month older (and of course cuter)! Her weight stayed the same this week (17 pounds, 5 ounces).
This weekend, Olivia attended her first birthday party for her good friend, Spencer. She had an absolute blast! As usual, Spencer was very sweet with her!
We also had an appointment this week with ENT, Dr. Charlotte Dugan. If we hadn't already had the appointment scheduled, we would have been going to the pediatrician that day. That's right Olivia has another double ear infection. Dr. Dugan said it is once again pretty bad and recommended we have the ear tubes put in as soon as possible. She prescribed more antibiotics in the mean time because she feared Olivia's eardrums would rupture if she didn't. As part of the appointment, Olivia also had her hearing testing. She failed the test further solidifying her need for the tubes. Sigh, this poor kid!
Dr. Dugan also said something that nearly broke my heart as a mom. She commented on how happy Olivia seemed and that you would never know she was sick by the way she was acting. She went on to say, "She's had so many ear infections that this is probably what feels normal to her." Seriously, we have to get this kid well. I do not want her to think it is "normal" to feel sick all the time.
But, in happier news it was also Valentine's Day this week! Could you ask for a cuter Valentine? I don't think so!
All the Banks kids got to have "candy" (aka yogurt bites) for Valentine's Day. I'm not sure who was more excited, Tinker or Olivia!
So, keep your fingers that all goes well with Livi's ear tube surgery on Monday! This kiddo deserves to feel well for a change!
