24 weeks.......I have feet?

Yes - Layla finally found her feet. She is not obsessed with them like Hannah was, but it is still so very cute. She had that wonderful surprised baby look on her face when she found them.

Layla had her second double ear infection and second round of thrush this past week so it has been a rough stretch. Remember, antibiotics make her puke and thrush medicine makes her puke, so together it is just ridiculous. We will be done with both medicines this weekend so hopefully we can have some good weeks ahead just in time for the holidays! Layla is around 16.5 lbs now so she is growing well. She is not too tall, so her 16.5 lbs is pretty condensed into her chubby thighs. Here are some new pictures of my big baby girl :)

We are getting ready for Hannah's big 3-year birthday bash! She is so excited and I'm sure it will be fun. We will have about 9 kiddos and some family here to celebrate. With the holidays and the birthdays coming up, we will be a very busy family. Take care.

My girls really do wear pants, but they were so cute here after new diapers for each. :)

Isn't she cute? Aunt Shelly is funny. This was from the girls first evening with Aunt Shelly and Tony. Seems to have gone ok :)

So cute.

I just think my girls are so cute. I know I am biased, but really - they are very cute kids. Although she is spitting up a ton, Layla seems to be doing pretty well on the Neocate. She has been pretty comfortable and falls asleep while eating (like a regular baby). It is a wonderful thing. So it looks like she is protein intolerant after all. This may pose issues with food in the future, but one step at a time. Right now I have a happy baby and that is all that matters.

We had a great playdate this morning with Jane and Ellen. It was much fun for all. The babies were so good and the big girls had a blast.

Tonight is the big night off for Mommy! I'll let you all know how it goes.

5 Months!

Layla is 5 months already! My little lamb is getting so big. She weighed 15lbs 4 oz at the GI on Monday (lost 6 oz somewhere) and was 24.5 inches tall.

Our formula trial is going ok and we are considering it a success at this point. I have gotten a taste of real food and don't think I can go back to not eating :) Layla is still only taking 3 oz sometimes, but she is doing ok.

Halloween was a big hit at our house. Hannah had so much fun. Layla couldn't have cared less, but she still was so cute! Hannah got a pumpkin full of candy and was so sweet. She said thank you to everyone and actually told us when she was done. She was just ready to go home and relax. Too funny.

The girls are spending their first night together at Grandma and Papa's this weekend. I could not be more excited! Not only can I eat with my husband, I can have a few glasses of wine, and then to top it off - I get to sleep all night. I feel like it's Christmas!
