January/February Update

All of January breezed by and here we are nearing the middle of February. So much has happened since our last post. In late January Josh led worship for a youth retreat and Rhian and I were able to join him for a fun weekend in the snow. Our Lily got to stay with the McKennas for the weekend. Rhian and I got to have lots of Mommy/Daughter time. We did lots of coloring, playing, walking to the lake, fingernail painting, snuggling and throwing snow at Daddy!

We found out in January that Lily has some acid reflux. With a change of diet, which included adding more solids and adding cereal to her formula bottles, we were able to avoid medicating her and she is doing very well. On January 27th Lily marie got her first tooth and on the 29th she got her second. Both teeth are on the bottom and are still rather hard to snap a good photo of.
Lily is really enjoying being able to eat solid foods, and Rhian is enjoying all the things Lily is able to eat. Who would have thought that a 4 year old would really want and love Biter Biscuits?! Have you tried them?? They are quite disgusting, but Rhian and Lily sure do love them. Rhian also enjoys eating Lily's butternut squash and baby food bananas. Lily's favorites are butternut squash and spring vegetables with brown rice. Yesterday she got to enjoy some of Rhian's Kix cereal for the first time and loved being able to eat some of Sissy's food for a change!

Rhian has her first ofiicial ear infection. A couple times in the past she has had sinus pressure in her ears and we have thought ear infection and taken her in but it has just been pressure. A little Sudafed and Motrin and POOF! all better. Well, that was not the case this time. After being up all Friday night in pain and then spending all Saturday morning trying to have fun at Mammy's but only being able to lay there and whimper we took her in. Sure enough, this time it was official. She got her first dose of antibiotics last night and she is feeling a bit better.


Well, that is all we have for now. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! a little early.

The first and last photos are my favorite! Rhian looks so grown up in that first one and I love the joyful expression on Lily's face as she's playing with papa. ha.
