Medically speaking, you're adorable!

On Monday afternoon, Mommy took Waverly back to the pediatrician's office to see Dr. Spath. She wanted to look at her ears again and listen to her breathing to make sure Waverly was getting better.

Mommy and Waverly read books while we waited for Dr. Spath. Waverly is always surprising Mommy with something new she has learned. This little Sesame Street book has pictures of several of the characters, and Waverly would point out Elmo consistently throughout the book. What a little smarty-pants!

Waverly's check up went really well! Dr. Spath was very impressed with how well her breathing sounded. We will continue to give Waverly breathing treatments over the next couple of days, but we can do them much less often and then ween her off. Her left ear was also much better! She did have a little fluid on the right ear now, but with the antibiotics she is taking that should clear up very soon. Dr. Spath said that we wouldn't have to come back in again unless something changed. So, our baby girl is (almost) all better.

After the evening's breathing treatment, we spent some time together reading books.
Waverly loves reading. She will "read" to Mommy, in her best baby language. She loves to turn the pages, sometimes before you finish reading the page to her. Mostly, she just sits contentedly and looks at the pictures and listens.

Now all of Waverly's books are within reach on the bottom shelf of her changing table. One of the first things she does in the afternoon when we come home is crawl to the bookshelf. She pulls many off of the shelf, then chooses one and has a seat.
Ready to read!
"Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" is one of our new favorite books, along with our favorite song, "On top of Spaghetti"!

Waverly has been playing hard, making up for lost time when she was sick!
It's like Christmas all over again!
