We went to the doctor and the doctor said...

that there is nothing wrong with Erika. Although that sounds great, I find it difficult to believe that throwing up daily is normal for a 14 month old! He told me to decrease the night bottle from 10 oz to 6 oz and put the cereal back in to thicken it up. I had eliminated the cereal because I thought that might have been a cause. He said it is possible she has a touch of acid reflux but nothing serious or that needs medication. Basically we have to wait and see and if it still continues they will look into the whole situation deeper. I am glad I took her. I tried what he said to do tonight already and she didn't throw up so maybe we are on to something! FINGERS CROSSED...AND TOES TOO!!Erika discovered the key in her car comes out! So that is what is in her mouth. I will be stashing the key away...if I can find it. I don't feel it is safe enough for her to have in her mouth. She loves it and it keeps her occupied for quite awhile, but it makes me nervous!
This picture is from the concert and was taken for Michelle. She thinks it is so cute how Erika and Daddy have the curls in the back of their hair! Okay I admit it, I think its cute too. I had wished that Erika would get his curls and she did. I wanted my hair color with his curls and that's what she has! Yet another wish granted! Ironically, Daddy got his hair cut today, so no more curls. Erika's reaction when he came home was very entertaining. She kept staring at him and when I went to hand her over to him, she was very hesitant.Today Michelle came over in the late afternoon for a walk to the beach and up and down the hills! She is brave with that backpack on! Not me...the stroller is more than enough to make me sweat! I think the girls felt cheated because they didn't get to play. We just walked and talked the whole time and then we both had to make dinner for our men!

OH and that is weird about the reflux but glad things are turning around. That may be one really good reason why she has been cranky. I know when Indira's acts up she is crazy!
