Miscellaneous

This was a long, whiny post about how I now have strep throat and feel really awful, but I deleted it.  Wah, poor pitiful me.  OK?  Done.

More interesting was the Peach's 9-month pediatrician visit: 19 pounds, 7 ounces, 26.6 inches, and I can't remember (and don't want to go downstairs to get) the measurement for her head, but her head is in the 95 percentile, while her body weight and height are 50th and proportional.  I've been telling everyone that she has a huge noggin, but yikes, it's a huge noggin.  And she is already bigger than I was at 12 months, according to my baby book. 

She also has a small ear infection, and is on amoxocillin.  I wasn't expecting her to get any, since neither Matthew nor I did as kids (I had my first ear infection in law school, during my very last set of finals -- good thing I didn't really care about grades at that point).  But now I'm wondering if it's a blessing in disguise - with her and Matthew on antibiotics now, I don't have to worry about them getting it.  I do know I'm looking forward to the river of greenish snot coming to an end. 

Giving amoxocillin liquid to ferrets was much easier than it is to give to a baby.  Unfortunately, babies don't have a scruff to hold onto.  On the positive side, she doesn't shake her head and get pink gunk all over my clothes, either.
