Clara is 2 years old

Yesterday was Clara's 2nd birthday! The morning began with the nursery at church calling me because Clara had fever. Since we had planned a party for her at the park for the afternoon, I took Clara to the after hours pediatric clinic and fortunately she only had an ear infection. So she got a shot and took a long nap then was ready to party. The "little" party was lots of fun. After only a few pictures, the batteries in my camera died. Thanks to my friend Michelle I should have some more later.

Allie was diagnosed with urine reflux a couple of weeks ago. We are going to a pediatric kidney doctor today to see what kind of treatment needs to be done. In the past kids with urine reflux take a low dose of antibiotics everyday to prevent infection but now there is a non invasive procedure that can be done to correct it. Hopefully, this will help Allie feel better and be a less fussy baby. Even though these pictured make her look like a very happy baby she is still high maintaince. I am not sure if she is just spoiled or is actually uncomfortable.

Happy 4 months Allie

Allie will be 4 months tomorrow.

Allie @ 4 months Clara @ 4 months

My girls favor only a little. They have the same nose and face shape but Clara's eyes are a whole lot darker.

A few pictures

Allie is almost 3 1/2 months old and I feel like I am getting a little life back. She still has a sensitive tummy so I have to watch what I eat. A little pig is what she is though-she likes to eat every 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 hours but she sleeps 9 to 10 hours at night. Clara still loves Allie and Allie smiles so big when Clara talks to her. Clara loves to get into anything that is Allie's. They are really going to enjoy each other in a few months.

My sweet parents

For the last 3 weeks one or all of us(except Allie-thank the Lord) has been sick. Clara has been at my parents for the last 2 nights so I could get some rest. I had to share the sweet pictures my mom sent me.

THANK YOU MOM AND DAD!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Allie is 2 months

Allie is 2 months today. She weighed 10 pounds 12 ounces at her 2 month well visit. It has been a tough 2 months for her with colic, reflux, a double ear infection, and RSV. But thankfully her lungs are now clear and her ears look good. She is still going to sleep on her own really well for naps, but we have to hold her pacifer in for her to go to sleep at night. Most nights she sleeps from 10 pm to somewhere in the 6 am hour. So I guess I can't complain too much.

Celebrating Sleep

I have been working to get Allie to go to sleep by herself but she usually SCREAMS for an hour when I put her in her bed awake(then I can't take it anymore so I go get her). I read an article about putting something that makes white noise in the baby's room to help them go to sleep. So yesterday morning I put a fan in Allie's room for her nap and she went right to sleep. And the same thing happened for 2 of her other naps and for her 1st nap this morning. I can't believe that is all it took. Hopefully, I am not celebrating too early.
