Trixie: Five Months

My little Trixie is five months old and weighs in at about 16.5 pounds. The only big changes this month were her discovery of her thumbs and her oxygen tubing. She loves to play with and suck both.



Trixie caught another cold this month, which was a little nerve-wracking for me, but she weathered it just fine with no additional visits to the doctor.

She loves everyone in our family and gives big smiles to all of us. On the rare occasion when she encounters other people, they are usually met with blank stares.

I tried to do a little photo shoot of her after a bath a few weeks ago, but I had a hard time getting a good shot. Nonetheless, this is pretty much how she looks without a nasal cannula. I'm looking forward to the day when we can get rid of the tubing, but I'm also grateful for modern medicine.



After getting sick, Trixie's night-time sleep has not been so hot, but I love her anyway. The one night in the last few weeks when she slept through the night, Eric woke me up in the middle of the night and then quickly fell back asleep. I, on the other hand, could not fall back asleep. When I asked Eric what had caused him to wake me up, he had no memory of it.

She's so cute! And that's kind of awesome that she sucks on her oxygen tubing. It's a toy that she can't drop!

Glad to.hear that she got.through her cold without a problem. I was thinking about her this week as Birdie has been fighting a cold. Other than the RSV immunizations, have you had to take other precautions to make sure she doesn't get sick? (Like can you take her out in crowded places?) Birdie has had one of those awful colds where she coughs until she vomits and I constantly gagging on her mucus. It's so scary, I can hardly sleep.
