Zipporah is still normal

As you may have read, Zipporah has had times when her head and hands start to shake for no reason. This lasts from a few seconds up to 20 seconds.

We took her to the neurologist a few weeks ago and she ordered a bunch of tests. An ultrasound of the brain, a "fall asleep and we put 26 wires on your head to monitor your brain waves" test, and 8 or 9 blood tests.

The results all came back normal. The doctor figures her shaking spells should go away by the time she's a year old, right about the same time that she will start drinking tereré so we will be able to give the credit to the tereré and its miraculous healing powers.

So she's normal, at six months she weighs in at 17 lbs (7.75 kg) and is 65 cm (26 inches) long. She also sticks anything and everything in her mouth. Including this puppy. But the doctor says she needs to wait one month to eat meat.
