The Much Anticipated Update!

Lola has been home since Sunday and I'll admit I've had a tough time getting back into the Bloggin'. I assure you that updates will be a lot more frequent than they have been. Bethany going into the hospital and taking Lola away from me really screwed everything up. Fortunately things are now back to normal and Lola Blog finally continue on a regular schedule.

Lola's tongue was looking pretty disgusting Monday night so we took her to Dr. Bonner's office. She was diagnosed as having a common baby illness called Thrush, which is a yeast infection in her mouth. A special medicine was prescribed which we're supposed to scrub the inside of her mouth with it after meals. Not our meals, Lola's meals. One of the side effects of Thrush is diaper rash, which Lola now has. Luckily we took a free sample of this stuff literally called Butt Paste which we took initially out of amusement. Hopefully it'll do the trick!

Also on Monday we took the girl with us bed shopping. Our first stop was Mattress Giant where our ears were chewed off by Junior the Salesman. He was actually really nice and had a lot of personal questions to ask about Lola. He had just had a little boy so you can see how we all related. Anyway, we didn't buy a bed from him because they were too expensive. Instead we stumbled upon a place on Route 2 appropriately named Budget Mattress. My man Wayne gave us a good deal on an incredibly comfortable Queen set. He threw in the bed frame (a $59.99 value) and hand delivered it all for free! It felt pretty good giving business to the "little guy" instead of the heartless chain stores. No offense to Junior, of course.

This just in, Lola's eyebrows are in! I noticed them when I visited her in New Hampshire but haven't gotten around to reporting the news until now. You can see them in the photo posted. Ain't they cute, folks? Yes they certainly are.

Lola's been growing and growing, I tells ya! She is now supporting her head a lot more and is keeping her eyes open longer and making eye contact with us. It's pretty adorable. She's getting very strong, by golly. You can now feel the muscles in her legs. She now weighs in at 10 pounds and is 21 inches long. Oh, we are so proud of our little girl.
