LL's Baptism

6 Months 1 Week

We had a great weekend celebrating LL's Baptism. The weather was perfect and the day was too! LL didn't cry when Reverend McIntyre took her from me (I didn't expect her to as she LOOVES people) and she even did her cute little scream/squeal with both arms out trying to hug people in the congregation. What a ham.

After, we all went to the Terrace Hotel for some yummy lunch.  It's such a beautiful hotel.

Here are Bryan's cousins.

Below are a few of my nieces and nephews. 

LL's cake was an Italian Wedding Cake...it was beautiful and quite tasty!

My sister and her daughter Hannah.  LL was pooped!

*******Last night was HARD. Not sure why, but LL was up every 3 hours! Each time, I tried to rock her back to sleep but she wasn't having it. She was hungry! The only thing I can think it may be is a growth spurt because she sucked down 2 full bottles and the boob on top of that!!!  I thought we had moved on from  those late night feedings and up every few hours....but it's a reminder that she's still calling the shots...still in charge of this show.  But pretty soon, momma and daddy will be calling those shots!

March is Flying By!

5 Months 4 Weeks

Our little family has been gone every weekend in March...which makes time just fly by.  Bryan went turkey hunting this past weekend with Uncle Ronnie and Uncle Kevin so LL and I packed up and went to visit MeMe and PawPaw again....and Auntie Anne came to visit, too. Here we all are at MeMe's work.

After that, Me, LL and Auntie Anne went out shopping for LL's Baptism dress.  I didn't think I would have a problem finding  a dress for LL because it is Easter season but I couldn't find one I thought "fit" LL. Most were too frilly and that is NOT LL's style or personality.  BUT, then I found the perfect one from the Gap.

Fits her to a T!  Now on to find some type of shoes.

MeMe and PawPaw got LL the Brights Starts Cute Critter Activity Jumper to keep at the house when she comes to visit and she LOVES it!

We started giving LL Isomil before her bedtime and also for her dream feed.  We tried all the formulas, but the soy is the one that didn't hurt LL's stomach.  The others gave her horrible gas, poor baby.  We give her the ready to feed kind with no mixing and she really has taken to it.  This makes me feel better knowing that there will be no problem when weaning her.

Let's see...what else.....OHHHHH!!!!  Aunt Flow, which I haven't seen since before LL was conceived, came to visit us this weekend as well.  And boy, did she show up.  Umm....who invited you??   Nice of you to visit, Aunt Flow but it's time for you to leave now.

LL's Baptism + Tiny Prints

I ordered the invites for LL's baptism today! Love me some Tiny Prints!  Great selection... I don't even have to address or stamp them.  Uploaded all the addresses of the attendees and Tiny Prints is doing the rest.  Love that.

We'll be traveling back to my hometown for the Baptism. It should be a fun-filled celebratory day. We have a lot to celebrate!  Took us 5 very long, tear-filled years to have LL.  Boooo infertility...YAY for IVF...boooo shots....YAY for my babes, LL!
