Two more shots down. She was a champ. Cried a bit with the shots. But she really let loose when Dr. G was listening to her chest. I guess, just like she is when she first get's to Aunt Bitsy's house, she despised the cold on her chest. And the stethoscope was probably cold to her. Boy, was Lilly not a happy camper. Screams. Tears. Just not happy. I got so concerned and lost in Lilly's screams ( I was holding her) that I completely missed Dr. G checking her ears. So when finally Lilly calms down, and right before the shot, Dr. G asked if we had anymore questions. I ask her if she is going to do the ears, and she said she just did it. I said, really? I completely missed it. And Mark said I did. And here's where I go neurotic on Dr. G, I didn't believe her. Nor did I believe Mark. So who's the crazy one? I kept asking really. Until after the fourth time, she said she would re-check it. She played it off well. But she probably didn't appreciate me going all crazy on her. But she said she was glad to give me peace of mind and healthy ears for Lilly.

Dr. G also recommended that we start her on solids sometime soon. Lilly took 11 ounces in one sitting Sunday afternoon, so we think it's about time. I went out to the store tonight and bought rice cereal. Maybe for her 1st Christmas feast, she'll get some new food.
