This past week, we had yet another trip to the hospital. This time for a 2 night stay. We're beginning to get to know the nurses at Community North a little too well. After some IV antibiotics and some oxygen, Ally was well enough to go home. We are administering breathing treatments several times a day, most likey through the rest of winter. A few days afer getting out of the hospital, she had her 1 year check-up. Her stats are ~ Height: 31 inches (90th percentile) Weight: 21 pounds (45th percentile) Head circumference: 46 1/2 inches ( 81st percentile). So, our little baby is tall, skinny and has a big head.
For our Christmas card this year, I thought it would be nice to include a picture of Ally. So, Chad and I got her dressed up in her Christmas dress and sat her down by the tree. However, Ally was feeling uncooperative and absolutely did not want to have her picture taken. The pictures that we took weren't great, but we did get one that was sort of good enough to send out to our friends and family. As a side note, we took Ally to Sears to try and let the professionals have a go. Unfortunately, they didn't have any luck either. Apparently Ally did not like the photographers and would not stop crying. She was all smiles while we were waiting for our appointment and then the second we walked into the studio, she started screaming. They didn't even take one picture of our crying baby. Oh well, better luck next year. Above are the pictures that didn't quite make the cut.
