Big Girl!


Caidy has really been doing well this past week. I have weaned her off breast milk and am finally finished pumping! I made it past both of my goals and to Caidy's 10 month b-day! It felt good to make it so far, but at the same time I felt a little guilty for not making it to 1 year, but she is doing extremely well on formula, Enfamil A+, and is growing. We took her for her weekly weigh in today and she is up to 16 lbs 11oz, exactly where she was when she first had the surgery, so all the weight she had lost is back and she is eating like crazy so it won't take long for her to get caught up!! Her palate is perfectly healed and her ears are all cleared up, we go back to the ENT at the end of January to check on the tubes, and I am assuming all will be fine. Her lip has also been loosening from all the sucking on her sippy cup and straws, we just need to continue to massage and I am sure it will be looking perfect in no time!!

Great! Glad things are on the upswing for you!

The thing I've been contemplating this fall is that AWESOME feeling you have when your kids pass a "major" milestone (or what feels major to you!). Things like: getting rid of a soother, sleeping through the night, weaning, potty training, finally getting a tooth/stop being crabby, etc. There are good feelings from other accomplishments in life, but when your kids get over a hump, it is a feeling like none other!!! Why is that? It's not like it's ME who actually achieved the goal!
