At least she is honest...

Ummmm, yeah...Kailey told me in no uncertain terms that she is not a SOY baby. In fact she took one taste of her last bottle last night and made this very dramatic gagging noise and it was accompanied by a face, that if it wasn't so sad, would be hilarious. I had to quickly whip up a bottle of her old stuff and she drank all 7 oz. I guess I need to scare her every once in a while by giving her the soy beverage....hahaha...kidding. What can I say?? I am out of ideas, but I am really going to make an effort to ease up on the situation. I am letting her drink what she wants and then giving her a total time out so she can burp and give herself a break. If she wants more then great and if not we will make it up in the next bottle. Apparently a bottle should take about 30 min to finish and she is managing that with a 15-20 min break in between. She is a power eater and I think she is giving herself way too much gas. She drank 4 0z in three minutes today!!! This is still the slow flowing newborn nipple too. Man can she suck 'er back when she wants to. I am also trying the same formula sans Omegas just on the off chance she has some sort of intolerance to that. The addition of DHA and AHA in infant formula is very new so there is not a lot of reading on it ref. side effects and sensitivities. I know it taste a whole lot different....yes...I tried it and I have tried all her formula to this point. I want to know what she is tasting and I feel her pain on some of those choices that's for sure. YUCK!!!

The outfit in the picture is from Roots and I looove it. It is so nice and stretchy for her. Easy to put on and should last a while (fingers crossed).

Today I took some time out for me!!! Imagine that?! I met up with Jackie for coffee and then went to the mall to help her pick out an outfit for her step daughter's Grad. That then turned into lunch!!! I was gone for 5 hours and got a break from 2 feedings and what a difference that made. I had a blast, I always do when we get together though. When I came home Miss K was in her snugli with Jack watching the Muppets and having a great time. When she took her nap I took little Parker to the club for some training as I am signed up for classes again and I am not sure what furball to take. He did great and it is nice to have another focus other than formula.

She is really quick at rolling over now...as quick as I put her on her tummy she is over. She is getting very strong upper body wise and with the right traction she is able to pull herself forward. My plan is to go to Wally World and pick up some of those rubber puzzle piece mats and set them up in the living room so she can practice her athletics and this will be a ton easier on her little body. I love wood floor but they are not exactly conducive to learning to crawl, sit and roll. Poor thing. They also should be easy to keep clean. I find with all this movement she is more likely to spit up a little bit. She gets to try oatmeal tomorrow...yay. I picked some up today along with a couple of sippy cups with the two handles. I know she is going to love them.
Anyway...fingers are falling off so I will say goodnight. :-)
