The no doctor streak is over

The long streak of healthy Miley has been broken. I had to take her in on Saturday for a really nastly looking rash behind her right ear. Turns out it was impetigo so we got antibotics and a skin cream. Little miss now weighs a wooping 25 lbs 4 oz and is 33 inches tall. She eats like a horse but because she's so active she's a light weight. Wish I had that problem. The rash has already cleared up and it really doesn't seem to bother her.

Swimming lessions ended well, we didn't have any more difficult days so the last few Daddy skipped on joining the fun. She learned to hold her breathe and to spit the water out if she got any in her mouth. Before she would try to drink the pool, nasty.

Miley's language skills have DRAMATIC improved over the last few weeks. We understand her about 80% of the time. She is learning so fast. Potty training is about the same but I haven't really been pushing it. We're going to Disney World in October and I'm thinking diapers would be easier than finding a bathroom every 30 minutes.

Since we are going to Disney, we're rented some classics for Miley to watch. Nothing, I mean nothing, catches her attention more than her beloved Elmo. We have a Best of Elmo DVD and she'll watch all 45 minutes of it TWICE without moving an inch. I wish she loved Mickey over Elmo but you can't choose who you fall in love with :). She really enjoyed Nemo and the Little Mermaid. We were all loving Aladdin but the DVD stopped working right at the parade with Prince Alli. We were all bumped, we rented it from the library and that's the only copy. We'll have to just go out and buy some of these. Every afternoon while Daddy cooks and Mommy cleans up, she watches Mickey's Clubhouse so she knows and loves the Mouse and gang.
