First for Everything

Since the last post, Adeline has continued to sleep for 8 or more continuous hours at night. Love that!! She has developed thrush again, so I am treating her with the Nystatin liquid that we had left over from last time, three times a day. I am also applying a cream that I got from my midwife to my breasts so that we are not passing it back and forth. I am wondering if it was actually totally gone last time. This morning I read on a reliable breastfeeding website that I was supposed to continue giving her the Nystatin for 3 full days after the white patches disappeared. I stopped as soon as I saw no more white patches, so maybe it has just grown back over the past 3 weeks. She also has developed a skin irritation of some sort on the right side of her forehead and cheek. I am wondering if she is having a reaction to the lotion I use. I almost always hold her with her head on my left arm, so her cheek and forehead are touching my skin. I have stopped putting on my scented lotion, so we will see if her irritated area improves.

Adeline finally got her first real tub bath and she loved it! She cooed and smiled the entire time. I think she would much prefer the tub over the wipe down baths she had been getting. She would scream and cry almost the entire time during the wipe down baths, so these are a thing of the past.

Don't make fun of my double chin.

Owen got a training potty for Christmas, and we just got it out this week. We have been putting him on it every morning when he gets up, before and after nap time, and before he takes his bath. Where the potty is located in the extra bathroom, he can reach the door, and he always wants it shut while he is sitting there. He seems to like sitting on it, but he had never done anything until last night. We finally got PEE IN THE POTTY!!!! George and I cheered, clapped and praised him like crazy. This morning he sat on potty again, but just wanted to play with the door instead of peeing. I will try again before lunch.

He moved his little rocking chair over to his crib so he could climb in and get the ball back that he threw in there.

Trying to look cute when he knows he is going to get in trouble from climbing, AGAIN!



Owen has a new favorite reading spot. He climbs up the ladder to the top of his little slide, and then turns around so that he would be going down the slide backwards. Instead of going down the slide, he sits up there and reads his books. Sometimes he says words that I can understand, and other times it is just jabbering nonsense. It is so cute. He LOVES to read. When the power was out, and we were only spending time in the living room, he would want me to read to him for hours.


Trying to get a picture of the two of them together, but it looks like I was the only one that wanted it. (Dad, I posted this one for you.)

After Owen stopped whining, and realized that Adeline was crying, he tried to comfort her. How sweet?

I have been really busy with lia sophia lately. I had three new girls start during the past couple of weeks, so I have spent a lot of time doing training. I also had a show this past Friday, and Sunday, one tonight, a meeting on Wednesday, and another show on Thursday. I have this weekend off for Valentine's Day.
