Mylah's First Body Piercing! LOL

Mylah got her ears pierced on Sunday after church! We were supposed to go swimming, but unfortunately for Mylah the weather was ugly! Instead of a relaxing day outdoors the poor child ended up with two new holes in her body! Hopefully this will be the last of any additional holes in her body! But...if she takes after her mommy, then there are more piercings to come in her future! The lady doing her ears messed up on one and had to redo it...I was not real happy about that. Poor Mylah! Brennan and Ivey were both 4 years old when they had theirs done. It was so fun taking them and seeing how proud they were of their new earrings. They would show everyone and they felt like "big girls". It was a day I think they will both sortof remember. That is the only bad thing about getting them done on baby girls. That "I'm a big, brave girl" moment is stolen from them. Mylah does look super cute with her earrings though! Cleaning them 2-3 times a day is a whole other issue! It's like cleaning 2 tiny holes on an octopus! Hands and feet and head swinging every which way. And if someone tries to hold her head still then she just gets more wild! I am going to need several more bottles of the cleaning stuff b/c this one has mostly ended up in her hair, neck, and inside her ears....everywhere but the tiny holes! Brennan and Ivey love Mylah's new "diamonds"! They were so excited to take her for earrings, but they felt bad when she cried. Mylah calmed down as soon as I put the paci in her mouth, which made us all feel better!

Blessings and Peace!

2 Month Check Up!

Mylah was 4 weeks old here. Don't let the pic fool you...she was cranky for this photo shoot! We got 2 good shots of her that day and they look great!

4 weeks here too...taken the same day. Our Social Worker made this beautiful dress for her! We are blessed with an awesome SW!

Mylah got nasty eating cereal with a spoon for the first time! We had so much fun feeding her!

Mylah had her two month check up on Tuesday the 11th! She was 10 weeks old at the visit and weighed 10 pounds 11 ounces! I delayed her 2 month check up a little while because she had been congested, and coughing. She never ran any fever but we all had a summer cold. Her check up went great. She has been rolling over from stomach to back for several weeks now. She loves to smile and talk alot! She is a happy baby and mostly just cries when she is hungry.

We all survived the first week back to school. Brennan is in 4th grade this year and Ivey started kindergarten! Of course, Mylah always wants to eat when it is time to get the girls ready for school! She also loves to eat in the car pool line! Murphy's law I guess...babies always want to eat at the most inconvenient times! I think I fed her in the car pool line 4 out of the 5 days this week while picking up the girls! We are all adjusting to the routine and the week actually went smoother than I expected it to.

I finally got around to ordering Mylah's adoption/birth announcements and her Baptism invitations! They look great and I am so excited! They just came in the mail today and I need to get them out ASAP! Mylah will be Baptized on Sept. 6th which is also her bmoms birthdate. I thought it would be special for Mylah someday to be Baptized on this special day.

Mylah had cereal and baby food mixed together tonight for the first time! She ate it off the spoon like a champ and did really well! We video taped it and she was a mess...I forgot how messy babies are when they eat with a spoon! I fed her right AFTER her bath...probably not real smart! She cried when I first started feeding her because she was really hungry and was wanting her after bath bottle! She finally figured out it was getting in her tummy and then she really liked it. After she finished she was smiling and talking for about 30 minutes! Now, if she would just start sleeping through the night! LOL She still eats every four hours, which isn't really that bad. I have put cereal in her bedtime bottles for the past 3 nights, but it hasn't made her sleep any longer. :( Oh Well...it will come soon enough. Danny and I stay pretty tired, but these 3 girls bring us so much joy! We wouldn't trade it for anything! I have sooo many pics of Danny falling asleep with Mylah in his arms...it is hilarious! It is now a contest I have with myself to see how many pics like this I end up with! No wonder that baby is sooo spoiled!

Peace~ Amber
