19 weeks and rollin!

Layla can roll. She doesn't do it regularly yet, but I set her on her back and walked out of the room - when I came back - she was on her belly. She just grinned at me like "Look Ma! I did it!". She also can roll belly to back when she feels like it. So that is fun. She is trying so hard to sit up when you put her in her bouncy seat now so we know she will master that soon too.

Layla is still getting up around 2:30 to eat so we have made no progress there. I think next week we will also have to bite the bullet and unswaddle her too, which will be tough. We have tried a couple of times and it is no fun - Layla just likes to be swaddled. We are hoping that if we unswaddle and let her try to get herself back to sleep, it will help her sleep better. I'm not tackling this one by myself, so I am waiting for Matt to get back from Vegas.

Layla is really working on her speech lately and has multiple new sounds. My favorite is the one that sounds like 'mama'. She also has found her squeal which is cute. She doesn't do raspberries yet, but she does have her paci in most of the time, so eventually.


Layla and I have had quite a stretch. First we went to her 4 month ped appt. She weighed in at 14lbs 10oz and is 24 inches tall. She screamed bloody murder at her shots, but that is to be expected. We also found out Layla had thrush - ick. Well turns out by Wednesday I too had thrush so we are both being treated. It wouldn't be too bad except the medecine makes Layla sick. Her reflux and vomiting were back to as bad as when she was little. It was no fun. Then last weekend I got the stomach flu. Layla also was very squirmy and irratable so she was sick too. We are recovered now, but geesh - as if we need any more puke in this house.

Hannah spent last weekend with her grandparents and went to the farm. She had a great time and was very good. (Pics soon) At almost 3, Hannah is quite fun. She is very inquisitive and very sweet. She loves her daddy! They are like peas on a pod as soon as he gets home. We have made no real potty training progress lately - Hannah still doesn't quite get the pee thing yet. We are just trying to ler her work it out in her own time. She did for the poop, so we know she can. She's a bit backwards on the potty training, but that's pretty normal for Hannah. She has always had her own time-table for things. I have no idea how tall she is (very tall!) but she weighs about 30 lbs (skinny!). Her next dr visit will be in December for her 3-year checkup. We are hoping those ear tubes we had put in last spring do the trick this year and we don't have ear infection after ear infection like last year.
Life is pretty good these days. Busy, but good. I am tired by evening time, but I am finally enjoying my time with my girls :) I am so madly in love with both of them - it's just amazing.
Take care.
