Crazyville

Yes, it is crazy at our household. Life with a two year old and a newborn is SO hectic. I love them so much and would not trade it for the world...it's just hectic!!! Maddie is growing SO fast. As of last Friday, she already weighs 13 lbs at 8 weeks old! She has outgrown her 0-3 month clothes and has moved on up into the 3-6 month clothes. Size one diapers are too small. Last week, she started to not sleep at all during the night if we laid her in the crib. I ended up taking her to the doctor because she acted like her stomach was killing her. Come to find out that the antibiotic I was on for the last two weeks for strep throat tore up her stomach. So now I am giving her a culture to straighten out everything in her stomach/intestines. I can tell some improvement already.

In order to give her the culture, I had to use a bottle with her for the first time Friday. Of course, I was really trying not to use a bottle at all, but had to. She is definitely not crazy about it. I feel she should be eating directly from me so introducing a bottle was not something I wanted to do. I don't mind nursing her around the clock if it means she is getting the best start to life that she could possible have...breastmilk!

Riley is doing very well too. He has been seeing an OT for about 8 weeks now for sensory/low muscle tone issues. I can't believe all the improvement he has made. He starts speech therapy tomorrow. I look forward to my little man talking!!!

Andy is extremely busy with work. Riley looks forward to his daddy getting home from work every night.
