Lots to share.....

First, most importantly, Rylee's tummy......It turns out Rylee has acid reflux. This is common in babies, treatable and they usually grow out of it by 9 months. The doc prescribed her Zantac that she takes 2x a day and I have to call her on Wednesday to report any differences. If that doesn't work, there are other medications to try. So keep your fingers crossed this medicine makes her feel better! She does still continue to have good days! She has decided she wants to live in the carrier. She LOVES this thing. I think she would be happy if I walked around with her in it ALL DAY. Oh ya, I have to be walking or at least standing. We are going to walk a little farther today. We are going to attempt a walk to Heinans. Dad is working close today if for some reason we need a ride back he can get us.

She also continues to sleep longer and longer at night. Unfortunately she is only sleeping in the bed with me. Since it is where she is comfortable sleeping, we have been letting her stay. Once we lick her acid reflux and KNOW she is not in any discomfort, we plan on getting her at least back in her chair. Although she did sleep almost 5 hours in her chair last night! Then another 3 with me. Yesterday morning I woke up to the sound of extreme sucking....she found her thumb! LOL. It was so cute. She will DEFinitly be a thumb sucker! Once she is able to find it consistantly.

Nana came to our Employee Appriciation party Saturday and spent some alone time with Rylee. Rylee really enjoyed Nana rubbing her poor little gurgling belly. This is her second outfit of the day. Nana just got done changing her poop clothes. She LOVES to poop in her clothes. I don't mind because I LOVE dressing her! You should see what she is wearing today, I'll post a pic later, once she wakes up.

She has been looking at us A LOT lately. This makes breastfeeding her even more enjoyable. I would not trade this for anything in the world. She is the sweetest little girl that could melt anyone anytime with those eyes. Not only is she looking at us more, she becomes more and more interested in the world around her each day. For the first time she enjoyed her tummy time mat.She really liked looking at the white face with the black googly eyes. This kept her attention for almost 5 minutes! Small steps, right? Rylee let the doggies take a turn when she was done. Never to early to teach her how to share!Looking back on the past 5 1/2 weeks and spending every minute of it with her, I don't know how Mother's can stand to go back to work. I give them a lot of credit because I don't know If I could stomach to be away from her all day. "I don't wanna miss a thing". I enjoy it all....even changing her diapers. Every look, every sound, just everything. I do want to have another baby, but any less time with my very first baby girl makes me sad already!


I'm not sure exactly what it is about this photo, but this is the first time I can see myself in her. She does look good in yellow, right!?!


Well that's it for now. Going to spend some more priceless time with my baby. Well, as soon as she wakes up.

P.S. Nikki, what does "CIAO" mean?
