Anteya update

We had an appointment for Anteya on Friday and she looks GREAT!!! She has been sick so didn't gain as much as we would have liked for 2 weeks but she still gained. She gained 8oz in 2 weeks. She should gain about 5oz a week. She started out at 13lbs 12oz and is now 14lbs 4oz!!!!!! She is developmentally right on target and gaining well! She is in the 10th percentile meaning she is heavier than 10 percent of kids her age. She is doing so well. We are going to keep her on the NeoSure formula until she gets back to the 25th percentile.

She is eating solid foods! She LOVES Sweet potatoes and corn mixed together. She likes squash, and rice cereal mixed with peaches. She LOVES carrots. We tried peas and she HATED them!!!! We are going to try pineapple soon too. I love making her food at home. It is so much healthier for her!!!

Update

So everything was going great but not now!!! Everyone here is sick! Alaythia woke up the in the middle of the night the other day and puked. After that her voice went in and out and her nose started to get runny and she was coughing. She was really bad yesterday. She comes and goes on feeling better today. Some points she seems normal then all of a sudden she gets SUPER whiney. Aaron woke up not feeling well this morning. I have been sleeping on the floor in the girls room the last 2 nights because Alaythia wouldn't go to sleep with out me in the room. So I have had a lack of sleep. But I woke up today feeling fine then all of a sudden I got a sore throat and my nose is stuffy and runny. This sucks!!!!!!!!!!! To top it all off I have a super bad headache AND Anteya is getting sick. So she is going to sleep in the carseat in our room with us since the best thing for a baby is to sleep upright. We are going to move Alaythia's bed into our room so she will be with Mommy and yet I can get some sleep in my own comfy bed curled up to my hubby instead of on the horrible floor. I hope this all passes soon! I am already miserable!

GREAT DR. APPOINTMENT

We are doing well! Alaythia is still teething. She is getting the bottom canine teeth in now then we have the top two and her 4 2 year molars left. She is about 30 some lbs and in the 90th percentile for weight and about the 65th for height. According to her doctors she is about the 25-30th with height and weight combine. She is saying things like fruit, eat, sippy, phone, MaMa(grandma), PaPa(grandpa), juice, milk, welcome, buh bye, nuh nite, bed, winnie, eeyore, please, thank you, pick up, and much more. She is out of diapers and into training pants. The size 6's she was in for diapers were to small. The 2T training pants don't fit around her tushie LOL. She has a bubble butt HEHEHEHE. OH she POOPED in the potty today!!!! I noticed that she was trying to go to the bathroom and she said poop and we rushed into the potty and we got her pants off and sat down and she poopied!!!!!!! She was walking around saying "good girl" for a good half hour after that. We are doing the M&M reward for pottying. She gets 1 M&M for peepee and 2 M&M's for poopie.

Anteya had her 6 month check up today and she is doing great!!!!!!!!!! She gained almost a lb in a week. She weighed 12lbs 14oz last week and now weighs 13lbs 12oz! She is 25 3/4in long!!! She went from the 5th percentile last week to the 10th this week. We were able to cancel her Children's hospital appointment because she is doing so well! We are going to wean her from the NeoSure formula she is on now back to Enfamil GentleEase. I am so excited that she is doing so well!!! We are going to do every other bottle the GentleEase. It is such a HUGE weight off my shoulders and Aaron's. We are so glad Anteya is FINALLY getting back to being healthy. I hope with any future children we have they won't have to go through this at all. It isn't just hell on baby but on mommy and daddy too. There have been so many sleepless nights throught this whole ordeal. I am just hoping that that light at the end of the tunnel doesn't disappear anytime soon.


Well it's late I better get to bed. Good night everyone!!!!!!!!!!!

Anteya update

So I was gonna update tomorrow since Alaythia has her opthamology appointment in the morning but I have decided against that. HEHEHEHEHE

So Yesterday I took Anteya in for a REALLY REALLY bad rash caused by the NeoSure formula she is on. And her weight was 12lbs 13oz!!! I am so happy she gained 9oz in a week!!! We have to keep her on the NeoSure for a while longer so she can continue to gain weight. When she gets back up to the 25th percentile for her weight then we will put her back on the Enfamil GentleEase formula, and hope that that satisfies her bodies hunger for fat and stuff. She is getting to be a CHUNK!!! She has little fat rolls LOL. It is really adorable!

Well that is all for now the kids are calling. Have a great day!

Anteya's first serving of real food

Yesterday I bought squash and sweet potatoes for Anteya because I am making homemade baby food instead of buying it. I like knowing what I am giving my child rather than what some company is putting in their jars. None of it tastes like it is supposed to so why bother spending more money on jars of food that taste like crap when I can make it all homemade and have it taste like what she is eating. Carrots tasted like carrots, squash tastes like squash, so on and so forth.


So today I made homemade squash. I have never made squash before let alone anything for the baby. But my first attempt was a success!!! I made PLENTY to last a few days and fed Anteya a serving of it and she wasn't to keen on it at first but in the end she ate it and did well!! I am waiting to see if she has any reactions by morning and if not then I will continue to feed it to her for 3 days and then go to sweet potatoes, then carrots, then corn, then green beans, peas, so on and so forth. I am so excited!!!!!

Rough few days.

Well the last few days have been kinda rough, but at the same time pretty good. I think Alaythia is teething worse now than ever and Anteya oh that poor girl. She has this diaper rash that just won't go away. I feel so bad for her. She has an appointment tomorrow to see what else we can try.

I sat Anteya in the highchair today and put on the tray and OMG she is so big. I remember when she was as tall as the tray and now the tray only comes up to her belly! I just can't believe how well she seems to be doing weight wise and developmentally!! I am so excited!!
