Ella and I went to the pediatrician today. They wanted to check out her high temperature. We saw the newest doctor to the practice, fresh out of med school, I think he was like 12! I'm kidding! He was great and diagnosed Ella's UTI (urinary tract infection) which often goes un-noticed because there aren't any clear signs. Her ears and sinuses were fine so he decided to take a urine sample "just to be safe". Sure enough, it's a UTI and she's on anti-biotics. We go back to the doctor when we get back from Canada for another urine test. They need to make sure her UTI (which is very common) isn't a "structural" problem, meaning a problem with her kidneys.
Tonight we gave her sweet potatoes for dinner. Yummy! Ella isn't quite sure what to do with food. She makes faces, looks stunned and generally spits it out. We'll keep up with the sweet potatoes for the next few days and see how she adjusts. Nice thing about her Bumbo is that it can be hosed down and cleaned, no seams or cracks to get food lodged in.
