My baby's breath will drive away vampires

He He He, she likes garlic!
I was feeding Draya the underside of the toast at dinner and then figured
"what the heck". She gobbled up chunks of the garlicy side quite
happily! She does love to be hand fed and would probably take cat food
if I offered it but she probably wouldn't take 2nds, 3rds and 4ths.
(Although you never know, I quite enjoyed Tender Vittles when I was 4 -
no I'm NOT going to offer her any thought:) It's not surprising really.
Garlic is my favourite spice and I cook with it extensively. She has probably detected at least a hint of it in her milk before.
As for the the rest of life around this house... I slept an extra hour this
morning and 3 hours this afternoon. Had some weird dreams that I might
blog about later. Jugglepants had an SP gig so his dad came over to
babysit. Brought me Arbys, yum, & baby liked the roast beef too. I feel better
but I still need to blow my nose every 10 minutes or so and the cough
still rears its ugly head occasionally. I think I'll drink lots of
peppermint tea and orange juice tonight!
Baby seems to be pretty much over her illness though. Yay! (touch wood)

Smaller than we thought

Draya weighed in at 15 lb 12 oz at her Dr Apt. She measured at 26". Her last visit at the clinic pegged her at 16 lb, 27". Guess a mistake was made somewhere. She hasn't been shrinking. Her weight has dropped to the 25% for 7-month-olds though (she had been in the 50% until now) so we have to feed her more milk, supplementing with homogenized, and bring her back to the Dr in 6 weeks.
Oh and she has a viral cold too. Nothing serious. She's just got a bit of a stuffed nose and some congestion in her chest. It will only become a concern if she spikes a fever, starts throwing up lots or gets an earache. Poor little muffin caught what mommy had last week.
