Latest







Well, this month, we've made some serious progress! Elizabeth has been sleeping in her crib most nights. YEAH! Even though she wakes up a few times a night, progress is progress and I can't really complain. Anything is better than sleeping on the couch holding her all night. She saw a specialist for her acid reflux. He switched her medicine and the new one is really helping her. He also told me we can give her Mylanta sparingly. Let me tell you, IT WORKS! Its great for those bad days she has. She's been getting so much bigger. She's already 14 pounds. I had to go buy her new pants and shorts because hers were too small. She's still talking up a storm. She's learned how to roll over from her stomach to her back, thank God. I know the more she gets moving on her own, the happier she'll be. She's so full of energy! (I know, I'll be regretting her crawling and walking when she starts getting into everything!) She's laughing a lot now too. She is ticklish so Mike and I are always trying to tickle her. She also is touching our faces now, which is new. She loves her bath time and is splashing around a lot. She's just doing so much better! She's so much happier on this new medicine. I think she's getting a tooth because she's chewing on everything and drooling a lot. The other day she was crying all day for no apparent reason. She'd just be chewing on something and cry. She got her 4 month vaccines. UGH! It was awful. Not as bad as her first ones but she does NOT react well to them! She cried for most of the day and was still fussing the next day. But that passed and now she's her normal talkative giggly self. She's attached to me. It's bordering on ridiculous. But what do you expect when she's with me so much. I think kids who have problems are more attached to their mothers than most but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe she's just mama's girl! Well, we are going to dinner so we will talk to ya'll later!

4th of July Weekend













We went up to Kendall and Kristie's in Sebring for the holiday weekend. It was great! We drove up on Saturday and just hung around. We went to their friends house for a cook out that night. The food was good and we met some new people our age which is always nice! Then Sunday we tried to see Eclipse. Kristie saw it... Elizabeth LOVED it and wanted to talk to the larger than life people! It was really cute but I ended up standing in the back with her for most of the movie. Oh well, that's why they make DVD's, right? We met Kristie's family that night and had great food there too! Her family was so welcoming and really fun and easy to talk to. I really enjoyed myself. Then Monday we went shopping with Ashley in Lake Whales. Elizabeth was great but didn't want to be in her stroller so we all held her the whole time. Mike and I finally made our way home Monday night. We were sad to leave. I think it just made us want to move back there even more!

New Relationship


Jessie and Elizabeth have just started to care about each other. Before now they didn't pay any mind. Before I turned the camera on, Elizabeth kept laughing everytime Jessie came up to us. She would try to grab her or touch her. It was adorable! This isn't exactly what they were doing but it's enough to give you an idea!
