Holy mega-drool Batman!
We can't seem to keep enough bibs clean to get through the day. Still no signs of teeth though.
Only solution to all of the drool...baths every night.
What are we going to do with all this hair?!
Pro Photos. Thanks Billie Mitchell!
Solids!
Dr. Brown gave the go ahead for solid foods, since she was staring at us every time we ate. She wasn't quite ready at first, so we waited a couple weeks. Once she started to reach for our food, we realized she was ready. We started with oatmeal and pureed sweet potatoes. She really enjoyed the sweet potatoes, of course. Pureeing baby food takes a little bit of work, but it really pays off in the long run. You save a TON of money, and you know what's in the food your child is eating. It should also make the transition to other foods much easier. I look forward to making more. Avocado, carrots, peas, and apple sauce are next!
The Eikenberry's
I should probably be dedicating an entire blog post to this family, because they most definitely deserve the recognition. Hopefully this will suffice. I met Amy Eikenberry at work almost two years ago. She had little Cooper Wayne about 3 1/2 months ahead of Olivia, so we spent much of our pregnancy together. I have to say, having her as a friend, as a prego friend as well, made my experience all the more enjoyable and tolerable. We were constantly sharing updates, even the unmentionable ones. I've had many friends and family members have babies over the past year and for some reason I never shed a tear for them. Don't get me wrong, I was truly happy for them. But when Cooper arrived I was all tears. I'm sure partly because I was pregnant as well, and an emotional mess, but I was so happy for Amy and Donald. I felt like I had experienced her pregnancy right along side of her. Getting to see her little miracle made me so excited for ours. From then on Amy and I have been close friends. Once the husbands met, we realized they were pretty much bothers separated at birth. A very dangerous thought, I know. Unfortunately Amy no longer works at Nationwide, which is for the best, but we still make the effort to hang out often. She has truly been an amazing friend and has been very supportive of what we are going through with Olivia's heart. She even came with us to Olivia's last cardiology appointment to offer help whenever needed, since it was so stressful the last time around. She was right by our side the entire time, helping us keep our mind off of what was going on. Her being there made everything go so much better, even Olivia was a trooper.
Amy and Donald, Words can't describe how grateful we are to have you as friends. We have been together along this journey and experienced many new things together as first time parents. I look forward to the adventures that are coming for all of us and sharing them with you.
Boo at the Zoo with the Eikenberry's. Coop was the cutest lil stinker!
Thanksgiving with the Eikenberry's. Cooper recently started to crawl and was all about playing with Olivia. She still didn't seem to interested.
