This is my sister, check back for my stats as I grow!
Where I Started ~ Birth Stats:

Head Circumference: 34.3 cm
I Don't Feel Well - Date: August 24, 2000 - 8 Months Old
I was feeling pretty icky, but mom and dad figured it was from all the teething I've been doing lately (3 teeth in 2 weeks, and another on its way). Mommy finally gave into her nagging feeling and took me in to see the doctor. Sure enough, I have an ear infection in *each* ear! =( We got some antibiotics (Amoxycillin) and I'm starting to feel much better. Here are my stats:

Weight: 16 lbs 4 oz

My latest feats: I've gotten 3 teeth! I can crawl all around and even pull myself up to standing using the couch ... or anything else I manage to get to (like mommy & daddy). I'm starting to "cruise" on the furniture too -- not too much yet, but I'm getting the hang of it. I can blow raspberries and like to "dance" (kind of bob up and down) when Mommy or Daddy say "Autrianna, can you say 'da-da-da-da'?" I even say "da-da-da" and "ma-ma-ma" now - I kept Mommy entertained for a whole 1/2 hour saying it over and over! Uncle Randy, Aunt Jan and my cousin Patrick came to visit. They were a lot of fun! Last week we visited Grandma Scott in California. I had such a great time. I even got to play in the sand at the beach. Mommy and Daddy are so happy to have me in their lives!

The amoxycillin wasn't working. One night I couldn't slep so Mommy & Daddy had to take me into the ER. They gave me a different antibiotic to try (Zithromax). After about 4 days my ear infection still wasn't getting any better so Dr. Kendall (Dr. Wynn's partner) gave me yet another antibiotic to try to get rid of the ear infections (Augmentin).

Today I woke up with spots all over me! Dr. Wynn says it's an allergic reaction to penicillin! I have to take Benadryl for the hives and we're trying a different antibiotic (Lorabid) since they are *still* infected!

Check back to watch me grow! Here are my stats:

Weight: 16 lbs 3 oz, (10%) Height: 27 1/4 in, (30%) Head Circumference: 44.8 cm (75%)

My latest feats: I got my 4th tooth (they all popped out so fast - all four within 3 weeks)! I love climbing everyone and everything! I've even been letting go of the furniture and standing all by myself for a few seconds at a time! I tried my hand at this speaking stuff. Mommy & Daddy were so impressed when I kept saying "Biper" (that's what we like to call a diaper).
I Don't Feel Well - Date: November 6, 2000 - 10 Months Old
I got a fever and was pretty unhappy. Mommy took me to the doctor and I have yet another ear infection (this time in the left ear) along with open sores in the back of my throat! I'm so miserable and don't even want to play! This time I got the antibiotic Supprax. Three days later I got another rash! Looks like I'm allergic to Supprax as well! So I got Zithromax to get me better - and more Benadryl!

My latest feats: I won 1st place in the 0-3 year costume contest for most original (see my pics). I've also got 2 more teeth - for a total of 4 on top and 2 on the bottom. I'm standing more and more all by myself!
I Don't Feel Welll - Date: December 17, 2000 - 11 Months Old
I had such a high fever (102.5) that the nurse said to come in. I have another double ear infection. We've scheduled an appointment with the oncologist (ear/nose/throat doctor) to discuss tubes or any other options.

My latest feats: I can help Mommy get me dressed. I lift up each foot to put my socks on and put my arm into my shirt and coat! I like shaking my head "no" now too! I like giving high-fives. We also moved into our new house in Lehi. Mommy was kind of afraid I'd have a hard time adjusting, but I showed her just how easy going I am ... it didn't phase me at all. In fact, I had lots of fun with my cousins on moving day! I took my first step all by myself in our new house on the 12th. I also got my 7th tooth (which again tried to fool Mommy & Daddy into thinking that my teething was causing the fever)

Check back to watch me grow!. Here are my stats:

Weight: 18 lbs 2 oz, (10%) Height: 28 in, (15%) Head Circumference: 46 cm (80%)

My latest feats: I clap my hands and love to "congratulate" myself when I do something good. I loved opening my Christmas presents - it was great practice for my birthday party! I still had the ear infection so I had to go in the day before my birthday and get a shot of antibiotics. That seemed to finally get rid of them! My first birthday party was a lot of fun (see pics). I love to say "duck" and even have my very own rubber ducky themed bathroom! What a great year! I've grown and learned so much (so have Mommy & Daddy!)
