Lauren gets sick every.single.time Billy leaves town. This last weekend was no exception. She got a cold that always creates issues with her asthma. I was able to up all her meds (pulmacort, xoponex, little noses, afrin, etc) and keep her off the prednizone for the first time ever (oral steroid = devil = highly emotional non sleeping toddler mess). We just happened to have her 18month follow-up appt with her ENT yesterday. She has a cold with gunk in her nose/throat and drainage in one ear (yea for tubes still working!)…so since we are traveling this Saturday, she went ahead and put Lauren on an antibiotic, antibiotic ear drops, and this other stuff for her nose to clear it up. So hopefully flying isn’t too hard on her on Saturday (we’re going to Destin for a week with grammy/papa)!
The interesting part…I had no idea how much Lauren weighed…with shoes/clothes on, she weighed 29 pounds…so I assume she’ll be 28 pounds in a month at her 3rd birthday. At mom’s suggestion, I got out my baby book to compare our weights…check this out.

It’s interesting that Lauren is following my growth pattern pretty much pound for pound! But I’m only 5′2″ and it appears she might be shorter! eek!
