kerry came over on friday for coffee; she's also in christa's wedding party so she ran out to quickly do some tanning and i was able to babysit levi:) keira's head is so big compared to his!!! she's 2 weeks older. he's about the same weight she was at his age. i don't know where his weight is! they're the same length - he carries it well:) today is saturday and i am very excited - keira filled her diaper today - all by herself! who would have thought i'd be so excited over a diaper? :) the last 2 weeks have not been so nice for keira. as of monday she refused to take a bottle; i wasn't clueing in that she didn't like the formula. over the last month or two she would fuss at the middle of a bottle; eventually it turned into screaming. i thought she was trying to fill her diaper. then she would scream at the beginning of the bottle - if i could comfort her through the first 5 minutes then she would drink her bottle, otherwise she wouldn't. i just thought somehow she was getting too much air...i was trying all kinds of different things. then on monday, all i did was put her in my arms (in the position to feed her a bottle) and she started screaming. i hadn't even showed her the bottle yet! it was such a gradual thing - all of a sudden it was sooo clear on monday. sheeesh, why didn't i think of it earlier? anyways, this week has been another week of...experimentation? i don't know. i never know:) sometimes i feel soooo inadequate. we had been using good start (nestle) - which is supposed to be an easier formula to breakdown. i'm trying something different - but it's hard to even get her to try something different when all she knows is that the bottle is the enemy. i've tried bribing her with white sugar, brown sugar, honey and syrup on the nipple...she doesn't fall for any of it. too smart i guess - or it just hurt that bad. so, we're still trying things:) sometimes i wonder if there's always something with babies, just when it seems i get something figured:) i know - it's all good. she's such a dear, she'll be so upset but she'll still try to smile. breaks my heart. being a mom is so much harder than i thought. all you moms out there - you're awesome!!!! you do this everyday and seem so normal:) i'm so blessed to be part of the mom club! one day Lord willing i'll be able to give her advice for her babies, and i'll know by experience!!! but that's a long ways away...so. yes. we're all good, and very happy! she loves her daddy and boy does her daddy love her! it's hard for him to leave for work when she's working her wiles on him:) smiles, and laughs...what a dream come true!!! have a great weekend everyone, luv from us:)
