First Swimming Trip

We were finally able to take Sofie swimming. It took her a little while to actually warm up to the water but we stayed in for almost an hour and by the time we got out she was splashing and laughing. The water in our pool is still a little cold but it shouldn't be too long until it's perfect. Hopefully this week! Yeah!


Sofie has figured out how to sit herself up and now this is how we find her when she wakes up. She is just sitting there waiting!


We have found that this is one of the easiest ways to get Sofie to fall asleep. It's probably bad and we should probably make her fall asleep on her own in her crib but it is just so sweet to have her cuddle next to us. She loves sitting between mommy and daddy on the couch and it only takes a few minutes before she falls asleep.


Sofie is getting brave!


Sofie has the biggest smiles and is such a happy baby!


Sofie had her follow up appointment yesterday. Sadly, there was no change. The strong antibiotic she was on did nothing. Her ears were still red and full of fluid, her tonsils were still red and inflammed and covered with pus, she is still congested and her lungs still have fluid in them. On a more positive note, she wasn't any worse. So now the doctor thinks it is allergies. We have no idea what she is allergic to but we are starting with milk. She was put on a new formula for babies with severe cow's milk and food allergies. She hates it and it is quite the fight to get her to drink it. I really hope this works because the doctor told us that if her ears don't clear up in the next week or so she will have to have tubes put in. It won't solve the problem but it would save her hearing and ears. I would like to avoid tubes if we can. But she is still a trooper and is really happy most of the time!
