No more ear infections!

Hooray for the ENT! Delia had tubes placed in both ears today and was a real champ. We are hoping that our days of broad spectrum antibiotics and motrin are over. She'll recover at home today and will go back to daycare tomorrow. We've even gotten the green light for swim class on Saturday. Delia is standing on her own and is very close to walking. She has learned how to take off her velcro shoes and, most importantly, learned how to unravel the toilet paper. Despite her often painful ears, she remains very cheerful and full of hugs and kisses for loved ones (and dogs).

Trip to the Beach

This past weekend we went to a friend's lake house in New Hampshire and got to see some friends from our years in Boston. We had good food, wine, conversation and, of course, knitting. From the look on Delia's face, you can tell the water was quite cold. But doesn't she look fantastic? This is one of my old swimsuits, circa 1973, that I found in my parents' attic last week. She now has four teeth, can cruise all over the house and has learned how to go down the stairs backwards. Unfortunately, we are still battling ear infections and the poor kid only had 10 days in between the last two. Although we have conflicting feelings about it, she's scheduled for tubes in 10 days. We will be happy to be antibiotic and ibuprofen free!
