Feeding: breastfeeds in the morning and at night, then formula 3X a day at daycare (7 oz), then once at home (7 oz)
Naps: they seem to vary greatly but most times nothing over an hour even at daycare.
-can hold her bottle
-still hasn't figured out how to roll all the way over yet but its a work in progress
-had fever for the very first time and it went up to 103 (very scary for mommy & daddy)

-loves to hold her feet and try to eat them on occasion too
-loves to try to eat her hands and has started looking at them a lot more.
-has taken out her paci and loves to try to get it in her mouth but hasn't figured it out all the way. She sure does examine it a lot.
-got her first dose of diarrhea and it was not fun at all. We had to put her on soy formula to get rid of it.
-got sent home from daycare for the first time due to the diarrhea and daddy got to take her to the doctor for the first time other than for well baby visits.
-got to meet her cousin Mary Grace for the first time
-loves to talk and try to carry on a conversation and I cant wait to figure out what in the world she is saying one of these days.
-loves to try to help daddy with the computer
-loves playing in her bouncy seats and occasionally will get in a good swing with her toys and hit her poor self but it never seems to bother her.
-loves to watch sesame street on her daddys iPhone
-loves to laugh and sometimes will get to giggling at the funniest things and it just cracks us up. Sometimes its a funny word or the way we say it or if we stick out our tongue.
-started to get a little ticklish right behind her ear
-enjoying reading at night before we go to bed a lot more than when we started.
-loves pulling mommy's hair and sometimes its hard to take it out of her hand with her tight grip.
-loves to try to sit up but hasn't quite figured out how to sit up all the way yet but she is close.
-seems to be getting teeth but no teeth yet. I think they are coming soon.
-figured out how to splash in the time and thinks its so funny. She still loves bath time.
-has gotten a few hairs on her head but not long enough for a real bow yet.
-wore pants for the first time
-wore jacket for the first time
-stayed with daddy alone for the first time
Products that we use...(some are pretty common..yes I know..)
-bumbo seat-she loves it
-jumper-loves to stare in the mirror at herself
-paci clips (we sure would be wiping off a lot of pacis without these)
-lamaze cube-anything we have gotten from Lamaze she just loves but this one is by far her favorite
-inchbug bumpy name labels
-bouncy seat-not sure how in the world we would live without this thing
-monkey
Books of the month...
-while learning about how to make her own food this one has some great info. It was recommended by a friend who is making her own baby food and our little girls are 3 weeks apart. She made making your own baby food sound so simple and easy.

20 weeks...
Well this week has been a CRAZY week and it really all started last Saturday. Just a week in review....
Saturday I spent the day at the hospital with all my family and my cousin who came down from Auburn with my grandfather who was on his dying bed. It was a hard day to watch him die. I ended up going home around 7:30 to nurse Morgan and was going to go back up to the hospital. Well about 8:05 my mom called to tell me my grandfather had gone on to be with the Lord. Still cant believe he is gone but I did realize that at 91 years old (would have been 92 on Oct. 14) it could be anyday.
Well about 30 min after my grandfather passed away Morgan felt a little hot so I took her temp and it was 100.7 so I gave her Tylenol for the first time and thought it would go down. No, it went skyrocketing up to 103.0. It scared the living mess out of both of us and Chad had already called the doctor when it went up to 101.5 and they told us if it went up to 103 to call them. Well luckily it did go down after a 2nd dose of Tylenol that the dr told us to give her (only gave .4 the first time and 2nd time same dose). Luckily about 10 pm she was fever free and has been.
Then it was the no sleep for 2 nights...those caught up with us all for sure. Saturday night because she slept in our room with the fever we wanted to keep a close eye on her and then on Monday night because we were in New Orleans for my grandfathers funeral. Not sleeping in her bed=bad nights sleep!
Then came the switch of formulas. We tried her on the Members Mark formula that was supposed to be the same everyone seemed to tell us. Well let me go ahead and save anyone else the trouble-don't try it! It isn't the same and gave Morgan terrible diarrhea and it has taken almost a whole week to get her back to normal.
Chad took her to the dr on Wednesday after being sent home from daycare for such bad diahrrea. What I have learned with it. If an infant gets diarrhea you can put them on soy formula and it clears it up. It took 2 days and now she is back on Enfamil and will be on it until she gets off + breastmilk in the morning and night.
So for the good of the week...
They say the third time is a charm. Well Morgan finally took down her cereal wonderfully. We were going to try the bottle but with so much happening it just didnt happen.
We tried out the oatmeal cereal with a 5 tbsp formula and she was opening her mouth ready for more. It was the cutest thing ever. The first few bites I gave her the cereal and put her paci in her mouth and that seemed to help her figure out how to swallow it. She took the entire thing and kept opening her mouth it just made my day to see her so excited about eating. Guess she just needed a little more time.
