an apple a day...

sylvi had her well baby visit this morning (a week late, at seven weeks, but who's counting?) and all went well. it was a well-timed visit, as she still has this stinking cold. so it was nice to get suggestions on other things we can do to help her breathe easy, literally. it was also a followup on the reflux meds and dietary changes. we are really pleased with how well they've worked... she is back to her old, mellow self and not showing any signs of pain like she used to. the spitting up has also been held to a minimum, as long as she remains upright after eating. and now that i've been dairy-free for nearly a month, the gas is almost completely gone as well! what a relief! i have even been able to reintroduce other often problematic foods with no problems-- onions, broccoli, soy and a few others.

so, she passed with flying colors! all is well. she weighs 8lbs 14oz and is 21inches long. for those who like numbers, that's about the 20th percentile for weight and the 50th for length.
