We followed this up by putting on our Elmo outfit... and it fit perfectly!
We got in some quality belly time with our new friend Tiger.
So after all of this working out, Gracie and Tiger collapsed in a face plant.
We learned that our favorite game is airplane... we'll see how we feel about airplanes after actually flying in them; in concept, they're a lot of fun!
Mary and I made the wonderful discovery this morning that if you put the applesauce or rice cereal in the bottle with the formula and make the hole in the nipple a little bigger (that sounds more painful than it actually is), she'll devour the whole thing- the trick has worked! She doesn't have any teeth yet, but we feel some under the gums- so it's only a matter of time.
And to top it all off, we had our first BM! (That's baby code for 'poopie'). In fact, while I've been writing this blog, I've smelled another in the air... so I'm off to change a diaper! My first one solo, since Mary's at WalMart with a few other families, getting fruit and rice cereal to put in her formula.
Hello Desings!
ReplyDeleteThank you soooooooo much for keeping us up to date on everything! I am really enjoying reading everything and seeing all the pictures. It took me a while to "follow" because I was having issues with the account matching another - blah, blah, blah.
Anyway - sounds like you guys are really doing great - forming bonds with Gracie and helping her to adjust anyway you can! Keep up the good work.
Hope the diaper change went well!

Just so you know, Mike... As they get older the poop gets smellier and more abundant.... But if you play your cards right, someday she will be changing your diapers. :-P We are so happy for all 3 of you. When exactly will you be back home again? We can't wait to come see Gracie. (And Josh misses your cats...) And btw, what happened to Mr. Piggly Wiggly? We miss him. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove,
Serena, Mike, Zack and Josh
