Many Many Updates

I know it has definitely been a long time since I have blogged. Believe me it isn't due to not having anything going on.

Sophie is growing leaps and bounds and definitely keeping Brock and I on our toes. There are plenty of nights full of giggles and laughter from our precious little girl and she enjoys being tickled by Mommy. She truly is a joy to come home to every night!

On September 16th, we took her in for her 18 month check up. She did very well and didn't have any shots (What a relief for Sophie!). She still doesn't like the doctor's office and starts crying as soon as any of the staff walks in the room. I'm hoping some day that she will get over that but I'm not so confident it will happen. Here are the stats from that visit: She weighed in at 25 lbs 10 oz or the 64th percentile. She was 34 inches in length or the 93rd percentile. For now, it looks like she is going to be tall.

She is now up to 10 teeth that have popped all the way through. She has both of her 1 year molars on the bottom and tonight we noticed that she has popped one of her first molars on the top. For the month it seems like every time we turn around lately she has another tooth coming in.

She still is a bit of a fussy eater and refuses to eat veggies. We have tried and continue to offer them to her but she really wants not much to to do with this. We talked to our pediatrician about it and she said that it is not uncommon for kids at this age to not want to eat veggies but to keep doing what we are doing in offering them. We also asked her about offering her the V8 Fusion to supplement till we get her to eat veggies the traditional way. She was fine with this as long as we diluted it down. So we have started offering her this and she loves it! I guess there is more then one way to skin a cat!

Over the past couple of weeks, Sophie has had a bit of a runny nose. Nothing too alarming so I chalked it up to teething since she has had a runny nose every time she is popping another tooth. However, last Monday she just didn't seem right so I decided it was probably best to go ahead and get her into the pediatrician. Turns out that she had a respiratory infection and an ear infection. Nothing too major and nothing a little bit of an antibiotic couldn't get rid of. Tonight is her final dose of the antibiotic so hopefully that is the last of that!

We still are working on the closing date of the house. Right now, it is between the 30th of October or the 13th of November. Problem is that the guy that bought our house wants the 13th of November and the guy that we bought the house from wants the 30th of October. Unfortunately, this can't happen so our poor agent has been stuck in the middle making phone calls trying to get this rectified. Hopefully this will all be taken care of pretty quickly so we can move on and move in :)

For now, Brock and I have both been packing the house and going through alot of stuff. I did not want to move items that we no longer needed and have been pitching things left and right. We both cannot wait till this is all done and we are settled and can get back to some normality!
