Smiling

Today Landis smiled at me about 6 times. I know it was a real smile because it was 3 in a row each time. You could almost see the thought process she was going through as she tried to smile. It was so cute. The first time it was just she and I sitting in the glider, the second time my friend Erin had dropped by and she did it again. Three in a row:) It was the cutest thing ever.

My first....

Well today Landis took her first bottle from Nana Peggy. Mom, that's me, was out of the house on a walk with Papa Norman. Landis is growing so fast I think she is up to 9 lbs and she is doing great. She sleeps, eats and has a couple alert periods a day. She also has one fussy period a day but it is mostly cute and not too frustrating. She saves it up until the end of the day most of the time so the girls are down and I can focus on her 100% which makes her, and me, happy. I wonder if it is something I eat, since there could be a lot of offenders in the list of beans and green vegetables that I consume. Also I have been guilty of a shot of espresso every few days, I know, I know but sometimes I think I really need it;) I am starting back into my exercise routine this week so hopefully that will replace the espresso, or it may cause me to want more, LOL!

The little chunk

We all had a late and long night last night. Someone in the house picked up a stomach bug, lucky for us it seems to be the twelve hour bug. Piper had it overnight which was better than Lela's day and into the night version. Jason took charge of Lela and slept with her in the guest room while I kept little Landis far away in our room. Funny thing is that Landis had a projectile stomach emptying session at 3AM so vomit was in the bed anyway:) LOL! I think she was just overfull, she does that sometimes.

But the whole point of the post is that while I was changing/cleaning her up last night or early this morning I should say, I noticed how chunky she has become. I mean she has rolls on her legs and a big beautiful face and jowl:) It is hard to believe how quickly she has transformed into a healthy beautiful baby. She looks more like Piper in the face now and she has Lela's build. It will be interesting to see how she continues to grow.

To Moby or To Maya

Okay so we are doing the whole babywearing thing and I really like it. Landis likes it the most since it means that she is worn around by mommy for most of the day. Nothing like being close to food and a warm beating heart all day:0) We should all be so lucky. I LOVE my moby wrap, the only thing is that is not quick to get on. It only takes about 20 seconds or so but once I get all wrapped I don't want to unwrap. The Maya wrap is definitely the quicker carrier but so far we have not found a comfortable position for both of us. I think as she continues to grow she (and I) will find a comfortable carrying position but until then I think Moby wins.
