Update

Alayna is changing so quickly. I can hardly believe that she is 7 weeks old already. She is starting to smile and trying desperately to talk. It is so neat to see her face light up. She loves exercising her arms and legs. She also likes flying around in the air in her daddy's arms.



We had to change her formula because she was having stomach problems. Amazingly though she knew that it was different and would not drink it. We couldn't believe she would already know that it didn't taste the same. The doctor was pretty amazed too. She said that we could give her a mixture of the old and new so she would have a little bit of familiarity. That trick worked and after one day of a mixture, I was able to switch her completely to the new formula. She is doing SO much better on the new formula. She is so much more content. We haven't had any major breakdowns since she changed.

The best thing about her being content is that she slept through the night last Saturday. She was only 6 1/2 weeks old. I was so happy. She is continuing to sleep at least 4-5 hours at a time. She can go 6-9 hours at night without eating. It is great!!! I think I am finally starting to be coherent again. : )


Our basement remodeling is done!!! The last step is getting the carpet in. We have started the fun job of moving everything back down into the basement from the garage. We decided to work about one hour a night until we get it done. It will be so nice to have both cars back in the garage and everything back to being accessible in the basement.
