Rolling with Laughter.

On March 14th, 2011, I took Mila to the doctor's office for a check up. As she was laying on the exam table, she rolled from her back to belly! Right in front of my eyes! I couldn't believe it! When I told Elvis, he asked me where she was going and I said "She was going home! She'd had enough of the doctor." Then, when we got home, I was holding her and I was saying different things to her to make her smile. Well, I said "A-choo" over and over and she just LOVED it. Then, she LAUGHED!!! It wasn't big or long, but it was a LAUGH! I couldn't believe it. In one day, my sweet girl rolled over and laughed! It totally made my day! I wish Elvis could have seen and heard it!

Update.

Mila still has a double ear infection. She was given Augmentin to help clear it up. We go back April 4th, for her 4 month wellness check-up & they will check her ears again. If they are not cleared up, Elvis and I have decided to take her to a specialist. It may seem extreme right now, but with Elvis' ear problems, we don't want to take any risks. I wish there was more I could do for her. She is totally a mommy's girl right now. She will hardly sit with Elvis for a long period of time because she wants to cuddle with me. I guess I won't complaint. =)

Poor Baby Girl!

Starting Friday, March 4, 2011, Mila had diarrhea and continued to have it until Tuesday, March 8th. I dropped her off at the babysitter on Tuesday and an hour later, she was calling me saying that Mila had diarrhea all up her back, had projectile vomit and had a 100.7 degree temperature. So, Elvis picked her up and took her to the doctor. The doctor told him she had 2 ear infections, a sinus infection and an eye infection. Loads of medicine later and the addition of yogurt to her bottle, she is starting to smile again! It has been a rough week for all 3 of us and now a beautiful weekend is ahead of us and we are ready to enjoy it!

Sleeping Beauty.

Mila slept completely through the night on March 2, 2011.  I didn't even realize it until Elvis woke up at 4:30 to go to work. I jumped up immediately thinking "Oh my gosh! She hasn't woke up yet!" I quickly placed my hand on her chest to make sure she was breathing...and she was! What a scare and how exciting! I got my first full night of sleep with her beside me!! YAY!
Of course, it has not happened again! That's okay. I won't lie...I sometimes enjoy those peaceful moments we get in the middle of the night together. She eats and then she falls right back to sleep. I often find myself holding her for a while after she's asleep and then forcing myself to lay her back down. I know I won't get those moments forever!!
