A great day....



Here is Gracelynn


The windows are open and let the breeze come on in.
It has been so hot here the last few days we have been inside for the most part because the humidity was so high...it was too hard on the little ones. When we woke up today it was gorgeous out. The breeze was very cool and just right to come in the windows and refresh the house. The older kids played outside with Lexingtyn in her new playhouse while I cuddled with Danikah in the house. I gave her her medicine and she had a bottle. She drank is so good and drifted off to sleep cuddled in a blanket while the breeze coming in blew the hair on top of her head. What a beautiful sight. I am so grateful she is here. I wondered when we got pregnant for her what her purpose would be and the differences she would make to this world. Just sitting in the quiet morning and watching her sleep she changes my outlook on the world without any effort. What a beautiful thing. She struggles with food and digestion in general but she still ceases to amaze us with her milestones.
She started to crawl last week and not just scooting ...she is fast. She flies around the downstairs in her walker and today she was crawling and she just stopped and sat up. The look on her face was priceless. We caught it on video.
On the medical side she is tolerating her formula better. She is still nursing for the most part but the doctor wants to try and fill her tummy more at night so she gets better sleep so we have been doing formula before bed. The spitting up of formula has slowed down and most of the bottles she keeps down totally. She is still not allowed any food until testing is finished but she is good. She is sleeping through the night again. We put her down at 9:30 or so and she sleeps until 4 am or so...what a blessing. That may not seem like through the night but to me 6 hours or better is great to me!!!

Some of you have asked what the other girls are up too and here you go. Lexingtyn is just about ready to use the potty and very excited about it. Emma and Gracie passed their school year and excited to go into grade 4 and 2. They are growing up so fast.

Thanks for the continuing prayers and God Bless!!
