Abigail Kait Kittle

January 28, 2010 Af ter weeks of problems with ear infections, etc., we finally were referred to an ENT to see about getting tubes for Abigail. Her appointment was this past Tuesday afternoon. Abigail first had a hearing test. The audiologist said that her hearing was normal for her age group, but she found that she had fluid behind her right ear drum. Next we went back to the ENT and the Nurse Practitioner said that the fluid was yellowed, which meant it had been in there for a while. Which would also explain why Abigail is always digging in that ear like it bothers her.

January 4, 2010 Here are some updated pictures of Abigail. Also, I am posting a video of Abigail dancing with her dancing elephant - it dances and sings "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch". Some other updates - Abigail has 2 more teeth coming in. One on the top and one on the bottom ... that makes 10 teeth!! We all had a great Christmas. I will try to post some Christmas and Birthday Party pictures soon. Abigail is trying to talk. She tries to repeat what you say. She will be talking soon!! She has been doing much better since switching to Soy Milk. I am so glad that we finally figured that one out. She is a much happier baby - back to her old self. She loves to "help" you around the house, but her "helping" is usually taking out stuff that you've already put up. She tries to take the dirty dishes out of the dishwasher or the clean, folded clothes out of the hamper. Thanks to everyone for sharing Abigail's journey with us. I will post the Christma...
