Almost 7 months but......

I know Elliot is almost 7 months old now, but when he went for his 6 month check up 3 weeks ago he weighed 18 lbs 8 oz, so I am sure he is at least 19 pounds now. He was in the 25%ile for height and 75% for weight. I can't remember what his head circumference was, but it was small and under the 50%ile mark. Now Olivia, who is 22 months older than Elliot weighs a whopping 27 pounds. Are you serious? Only 8 pounds more?

Summer break started out pretty cruddy, with Kim, our day care provider, calling me Friday afternoon and telling me that Olivia had a temp of 103.7. To make a long story short; after 2 trips to the clinic on Friday and Sunday, and trying to figure out if Olivia had the barn yard disease again (hand, foot and mouth) a virus or strep, I finally came to the conclusion last night that she is once again a barn animal, as more spots appeared in her mouth, as well as on her feet and bottom. It was tricky to figure out this time though because her symptoms were not the same and came in a way different order than they did the first time. She has been incredibly moody and I am extremeley tired of sharing my bed with her. To top all of this off, she also has night terrors, which were out of control last night. Poor baby.

Poor Elliot has been orphaned by me since Saturday and I miss him something fierce. Fingers crossed that he does not come down with this and morph into some cross breed animal as well.
