Reflection----week 9

Jayden is growing like a weed. He had his 2 month doctor's appointment, and you know what that means, right? SHOTS!. He was a champ. He had three shots and one oral vaccination. His growth is good, and he now weighs 10 lbs and 5 ounces. He has successfully doubled his birth weight of 5 lb. and 2 ozs. He now has a boppy bouncer which he loves even more than he does his swing---and I thought that was a love affair that no one could break up!

Reflection---week 8

Jayden is two months old. Whoop, whoop! The cooing and babbling has begun. This little guys has a lot to say. Hi smiles are getting larger and appear more frequently. The cuteset ones are the ones when he is sleeping. Grandma swears that they are gas, but child development says differently. lol. He is very much in love with his big sister. He will turn his whole body to see hat she is up to. We picked up his photos from the portrait studio, and our new family portrait also. They look pretty nice!

The Revolving Door

In the process of growing our family there has been an endless amount of people in and out of our home. When you add in the fact that we are adopting and there are even more people. This month we have had three different people from our social service support network, and a developmental intervention helper all in here in just one week, last week. We still need to see one more person from our support network and the developmental intervention person (again)next week. I feel like just installing a revolving door on the front of the house.
In other news,we are quickly moving ahead on the legal front. The first court appointment was last week. It has been continued.We'll keep you posted!

Privacy

Well Robbyn has been working on privacy with Laylah. You know when to knock and what is private. Well we were at a restaurant today and Robbyn took her to the rest room. The changing table was right next to the sink. There were to girls about 6 or 7 washing their hands and gabbing. As Robbyn was about to start Laylah said wait sat up and said
Excuse me people i need privacy. (she then motioned to her body and said) this is private.

Reflection----week 7

Jayden had his second month photo shoot and he was a much more agreeable little guy this time. We celebrated the holiday at Grandma's (My mom's) house. Since we went to church on Saturday, we celebrated the holiday on Sunday at her house for lunch and dinner and family game night. We spent the night over there, and Laylah slept in her new big girl bedroom with full sized bed. Jayden cried from 10 pm till 2 am. What fun. lol.That must have been the last of his crying and colic becuase starting Monday he has been wonderful. We switched him to a medium flow nipple and it has been helping with the crying also. He doesn't get so tired nursing and fall asleep half way, waking shortly after to scream. He eats less ounces and is happier for longer, and there is less gas. He no longer has to be held constantly. I think he weighs a ton now. He'll weigh in tomorrow morning.

Reflection----Week 6

Six weeks and going strong! Jayden is still screaming but with the help of friends and family---there is time for showers, cups of teas, dvds, card games and doing dishes and laundry. That's real good tag teaming. Thanks Erika---Thanks Mom. Love you ladies. Starting to have time to sell some of this baby stuff before our house gets too full and explodes.lol. Laylah was helping me lay stuff out to photograph, etc. Gotta love her. She is such a trooper. We paint our nails and spend alone time together everyday. What a doll!

Reflection----Week 5

Laylah and Jayden took their first walk together in their new double stroller from Goddy Erika. Laylah enjoyed being able to see everything and Jayden got good and worn out from the fresh air. The pepcid id working wonders and he no longer projectile vomits or spits up acid. He is still having some latch problems and a lot of screaming is still going on but we just might make it after all. He enjoyed more time in his Godmother Erika's arms.
