Lillian sometimes seems to be a small energy source wrapped in a layer of skin: she goes and goes until she runs down, sleeps and recharges then starts again.
She’s developed a temper and throws the occasional tantrum, but learned early on that throwing yourself violently to the floor can cause pain. Now, she carefully lowers herself to the floor, eases her head back, looks around to see who is watching; only then does she let loose.
Her pediatrician was happy to hear that she’s reached the tantrum stage: it’s another sign that she’s on target developmentally; mom and dad aren’t quite as thrilled with this developmental stage.
Lili had her first ever bout with cold and fever: as a precaution, we went and had her lungs x-rayed at Texas Children’s: happily, they were clear. She has passed on the cold to her mom, dad, grandma Nancy and great-grandfather. Not one has sent her a thank-you note.
