Busy Hands

We offically have a little grabber on our hands. A few days ago, Madison started successfully grabbing things. Before this point, she'd try and wrap her hand around things but it'd fall most of the time. Now... if an object is within reach, she has it in her hand and she wants it in her mouth. I love it. For a few weeks now, I'd watch her stare something down and try to figure out how to wrap her little hand around it. Now she does it with no difficulty!

The cold she has had gave her a minor ear infection. The doctor wants to hold off on giving her an antibiotic and see if it clears up on it's own. She didn't really give us an explanation for it; I assumed it was because she knows children with 18q- can be prone to ear infections, and so she doesn't want to give her an anitbiotic unless absolutely necessary in case her body builds up a resistance to it. She has done well, though. She's had a few fussy days, but nothing too bad. We've just been giving her lots of snuggles. She goes back Friday to check and see if it has gotten any better.

We made an appointment with a early intervention program for the 21st. Other than that, that's all there is that's new. Today was her 3 month birthday. Woohoo! She weighs 9 lbs 14 oz. I can't believe it's already been 3 months... wow.
