Starting Baby Food

We got the go ahead to start baby food. We started off with Green beans and then after four days we went to peas. She still does not like rice cereal by itself. But she is getting it in her bottle for her acid reflux. Here are the pictures of her first attempt of Stage One foods:

Getting Ready!

Not sure what to think?

By the end of the feeding, she seemed to like it!

4 Months Old

We had our four month check up on Monday. She is meeting all of her developmental milestones and is doing great. She weighed 15 lbs. (90th %) and was 25 1/2 inches long (90th %)! She is growing so fast! She is still sleeping throughout the night, which Mommy loves! We got the go ahead to start stage one foods so we will see how that goes! I have started back to work and Harper is staying with a babysitter in her home. She seems to be adjusting very well! It was hard dropping her off the first morning, but I know it is for the best!

All Smiles

Here are a few pictures of Harper Smiling. She is such a happy baby!

A Few Of My Favorite Pictures

3 Months Old

This picture was taken on July 13th. She is growing so fast! A few of her three month highlights are: She loves her hands! She keeps them in her mouth all the time. She loves sticking her tongue out and blowing bubbles and the most important milestone is that she sleeps ALL NIGHT!!! I put her down around 8:00 p.m. and she usually wakes up around 7:00 a.m. It is such a blessing because I am starting back to work on August 5th, and I am going to need my sleep! She is such a blessing and I cherish everyday with her!!!

My Poor Baby

Last week (06-21/06-23) Harper was admitted to The Childrens Hospital. As many of you know, she has horrible acid reflux. On Monday, she was very fussy and refused to take her bottles. I kept thinking she is eventually going to get hungry and eat. Well she never did. Monday night I called after hours and the nurse told us to go ahead and go to Childrens. They tried to get her to take a bottle again and she refused it. They took xrays of her stomach, which came back normal. After the doctor came in and did his assessment, he said that she was dehydrated and she needed to have blood work drawn and an IV started. She was so dehydrated that she did not have any good veins. It took the nurses 7 times to finally get it started. She started taking her bottle on Tuesday and we got to go home on Wednesday. The doctors said that she had esophagitis and started her on a new medicine to coat her esophagus. She is feeling much better now and we are just hoping she grows out of this soon!

Getting ready to come home!
