Dear Libby,
You are suddenly such a big girl! I feel like your nightly nursing session before bed is the last thing that still makes you my "baby"... and I have a feeling that will end very soon. You are one tough little girl. You really hold your own with your big brother. I love to see you two together! Seeing your legs in shorts, now that the weather is warmer, just makes you look even taller. Some days I can hardly believe how fast time is flying.
You got tubes almost two weeks ago. I hope that they make a huge difference for you. The ENT said that your ears were full of cement-like fluid, and that your hearing had probably been reduced by at least 30-40%. My poor girl. One of your ears bled for a few days, and there is still really icky fluid coming out of it. I really hope that it isn't infected again.
You've already started talking more just in the two weeks since you got the tubes. You now can point and say ball. You're learning where more of your body parts are, other than just your nose, which you've known for months. You're starting to eat well with a spoon. You are a heck of a climber. You climbed all the way up into your high chair earlier this week, and you also are pretty good at climbing chainlink fences. I've got to keep an eye on you every second!
I love you, Monkey.
Mommy
