Dr. Appt

Elsa is a "picture of health" says the pediatrician. She now registers in at:
Weight: 14 pounds
Height: 27 inches

She is tall, 75th percentile for height. This is why we have to wear some 9 month clothes. She just is too tall for some of the 6 monthers. Jordan took her in for this check-up, since I double booked myself. (oops!) I had told Jordan that I thought Elsa looked pale, so he mentioned this to the doc. The doc says, "Tiffany actually noticed this?" Apparently breastmilk's iron levels drop around now, and that is why we start rice cereal (iron-fortified). As a result of the drop in iron levels, the child can be paler. How funny! I just thought she might be under the weather. They will check her iron levels at her 9month appointment, but it is completely normal and expected for kids to be pale.

A Healthy Elsa is a blessing.

Nellie & Titus (AKA Bonnie & Clyde)

So Titus' best friend is a little girl named Nellie. They play together so well and often get each other into trouble. If Titus can't find Nellie, he'll run around and yell "Nel-ne!" until he finds her. Nellie will often point and Titus and say "Tie-us, Come!" and Titus will happily trot to her as they run off on an adventure.

Here is a cute video of them playing in a toy helicopter.



(I've been made aware that perhaps Nellie thinks Titus is her boyfriend. Check out the bottom of this post on Nellie's blog for the scoop.)
