Smiles!!

Our baby girl is 6 weeks old today and full of smiles!! If she could talk and asked for a pony today, I would probably be on my way to buy one!! What is it about these sweet little faces that makes us go so nuts?

Praying for Bayler

Most of the people who visit my blog know about this precious little boy named Bayler. He is 5 years old and such a sweetheart! His parents found out last week that he has stage 4 neuroblastoma. They are at the Richland Children's hospital. For those of you who don't know about this little angel, start praying now! Let's pray for complete healing of this horrible cancer. Pray for his loving family as they go through this! www.caringbridge.org/visit/baylerteal

Our baby girl is getting so big! I can't believe she will be 5 weeks old tomorrow! Here are a few new pics of our little angel.Me and my babies!

Our new pet....for now

Will caught a baby frog for Connor and put it in a small aquarium. It is sooooo tiny and cute and is in my kitchen!! Connor named it Transformer. What a funny name! I think we may be releasing him back into the wilderness today though. (before he kicks the bucket and is unable to hop away) I think we need to get some fish or something.Can you see the tiny green spec??Such a funny guy!

Thanks!

Thanks girls for all of your advice on our tummy issues!! It really helps to hear about how other moms deal with this kind of yucky stuff! She has been on the Nutramigen for a couple of days, and it is really helping. Although I tried her on the powder form yesterday, and that was NOT a good idea. She can only tolerate the liquid form. What is up with that?? Oh well, I don't mind paying a few extra bucks, if it helps!! I know things will get better!! Thanks again for "listening" to my complaints. It makes me feel better!!

mommy advice....

It is so amazing how every child is so different. Of course, I only have one other child to compare to. So I think back to the way Connor was as a baby and expect this one to go the same way, I guess. Not so! We are having a time with this sweet baby girl and her tummy! Poor little thing just has the worst gas and seems soooo uncomfortable during and after her feedings. I have tried almost every formula and now we are on the nutramigen. I am hoping it will help, but so far it is the same. Of course we use mylicon and have tried gripe water, but nothing seems to help! I just hate that her poor little tummy hurts. She cries a good bit of the time and we pretty much just hold her all the time. Do any of my mommy friends have any other advice for me?? I am hoping she will just outgrow this very soon. She is certainly getting enough of something though, because she weighed 10lbs 10oz today at her 4 week check up!! My girl loves her groceries!!haha

Labor day fun!

Will, Connor and I went to Lake Wateree today for a little boating and swimming. We had a great time and Elliott got a little hang time with Grammie.(my mom) We had a fun picnic on the boat and Connor and Daddy swam in the lake. Mommy does not do lake water....unless someone is drowning. Anyway, we had so much fun with our little man today. Can't wait until Elliott is old enough to enjoy the water with us!
