One Month

Mylee has finally hit and went passed her birth weight! I am thrilled!!! At her 2 week appointment she still hadn't made it the weight and the doctor was a bit concerned. He was supportive of me nursing her, but thought the problem was my milk supply. So, I got some herbal stuff to help that and then I try to help Mylee stay more awake while I nurse her and now she weighs 8 lbs 9 1/2 ounces. I didn't have that much difficulty nursing Mari, so I have been a bit surprised by Mylee. It's definitely not easy, but totally worth it!

Here's a fun Mari story for you: Tamari was playing alone in her room while I was feeding Mylee. When I was done she came up to me and said, "Mom, I have something to show you in my room." I said okay and followed her. While walking to her room she said, "Mom, you're going to be frustrated." Oh lovely, I thought. We go in her room and whatever she wanted to show me, she hid. So, she was moving things around and pulls out a play dough toy that's a hollow cylinder. I said, "It's okay. (We had just cleaned up the play dough toys.) Just go put it away." She said, "Mom look, there's gum in there." I look in there and Yes, there's gum in it. I think she was trying to blow a bubble out of it. What's funny is that she knew she had done something wrong, so she hid it. And then, fessed up to it. No gum for Tamari for awhile. :)

Here's some sister fun!
