Cereal

Katelyn was having problems adjusting to the taste of her new formula. The doctor said that I could add some cereal to her bottles to mask the taste and also offer it in a bowl twice a day. After giving it a try, I don't think she's ready for a spoon. She didn't know what to do and got pretty frustrated and started to get upset. I did get some pictures before she got upset.

Here she is wait to give it a try.

I don't understand...



This isn't what I had in mind. I need a bottle!

Rolling Over

Saturday, October 2nd, after the garage sale, we decided to take a nap. When I tried to put Katelyn down for a nap, she was wide awake and in such a good mood. I decided to skip my much needed nap and play with Katelyn. I put her down on the floor for tummy time. She started immediately to try and roll over. She was getting really close to actually doing it. I didn't want Billy to miss out, so I woke him up to film it. Sure enough, we caught her rolling over for the first time ever on video. Now you can see it too :)

Phantom Bug

After Katelyn had 3 separate episodes of what we though was a stomach bug, the doctor decides that it is probably not a bug at all. She just needs to change her formula again. Now she is on Nutramigen (not sure if I spelled that right and I'm too lazy to go look at the can). Most of the time she seems to be feeling a million times better and is all smiley happy. Then, at other times she screams bloody murder! It seems to happen once per bottle. She also doesn't seem too excited about drinking it. In fact, sometimes she won't drink it at all. I don't know if it keeps her fuller longer or if it's just nasty or what. So, I'm not too sure about the new formula. We'll see how this weekend goes.

Best Week Ever!

and by that, I mean not so much. :( It started last weekend when Katelyn got a stomach bug. Thank goodness it didn't come with the vomiting though. Monday I had to stay home with her, which wasn't bad we just hung out all day, watched TV and changed LOTS of diapers.

Tuesday, she went back to day care. While she was there, she had an accident. Her sitter slipped in some juice that someone spilt on the floor and they both went into the swing. Thank goodness she instinctively covered my child's face with her hand, so it took most of the blow, but she did end up with a few bruises to the head and face.

Miss Kitty made it all better though...

By Wednesday and Thursday, we thought our week had taken a turn for the better. Katelyn's tummy was all better and her bruises are healing nicely.

Then Friday morning we wake up and Billy's eye is swollen and red. He goes to the doctor, and as suspected, he had pink eye. He was very sad about not being able to hold or play with Katelyn.

Friday night Katelyn's stomach virus came back with a vengeance. This time it brought the vomiting. Poor little girl. I feel so bad for her. By this time, I was sad Billy could hold her too lol. Hopefully, she will be well enough to go back to day care Monday. Sunday, Billy will be well enough to hold and take care of Katelyn. Hopefully, no one else will get the stomach virus or pink eye. That will be a miracle.

More Family Introductions

Labor Day weekend my parents and I went to take Katelyn to meet her Great-Grandfather "Kingpin", her Great-Aunt Lanelle, and my cousin Cindi and her husband Steve in Mariana, FL.

Kingpin is almost 93 and I am the last of his grandkids to have a child. This meeting meant a lot to me, and I'm sure it did to him too.

On the way there, she traveled pretty good. She slept most of the way. On the way back, however, we got stuck in traffic in Mobile, and she did not like sitting still for that long. She was kinda fussy the rest of the trip. Poor thing was just sick of being in a car.

Kingpin, Lanelle, and Katelyn...

Katelyn and Cindi...

While we were in Florida, Katelyn picked her head up higher than she ever had before during tummy time and I managed to get some pictures...

We decided to stop in Pensacola to eat lunch on the way home.

And then we came to a complete stop outside of Mobile....
