Week 27 - Under the sweltering weather

Pardon me if this post is a little jumbled.  Charlotte is a bit ill and we are all a bit grumpy and tired - getting up at 3 AM for 3 nights becomes none of us.  Charlotte has a runny nose (and a surprisingly sunny temperament).  We had the pleasure to take her to the doctor twice in 5 days - one for her 6 month jabs (a minute of crying and then all was well) and the second for her general stuffiness.  We got some medicated nosedrops and Doctor Mark says it should be gone in a week or 2.  Blah.  Blah.

She is 8.64 kg (19 pounds!), 67 cm tall and has a head circumference of 43.5 cm.

In other news - she loves her walker.  I know that these walkers are really out of vogue in America - but a supervised few minutes with her happy and rolling around (e.g. tormenting the dog) is good for us.  We started feeding her solid foods - rice cereal which she likes.  We attempted to change her formula (to NAN HA - locally available) but it happened when the sickness happened and well, we needed to change one less variable, so we are asking assistance of our American friends to bring over some Alimentum till we can stock up at Xmas.

Here is some updates.  I am off to try to sleep to anticipate another 3AM morning..
