Brother and Sister

Playing together
Bailee has recently discovered her hands and arms. Any chance she gets, either one is in her mouth. She is sleeping pretty well - typically just gets up once in the night around 4 a.m. for a bottle and then goes back to sleep. We haven't quite established a real routine, but once school gets going I know we'll get there. She is smiling and making quiet little noises throughout the day. She certainly loves her brother but isn't always up for the rough play Jonah is ready for.

Jonah had a check up with Dr. Escobar in Indy on July 23 and it went well. He gave us a prescription for a muscle relaxer for him to help with the tendons in his left leg. Hopefully this will help and we can prevent surgery. We are meeting with an orthopedic specialist August 4 to see if she has other ideas for him as well. At Jonah's next appointment with Dr. Escobar he will have some audiology testing done. He feels that th hearing issues Jonah is experiencing is an auditory processing disorder which is good because he can learn to overcome it. In a few weeks Jonah will be starting back to pre-school. He will be going 5 days a week from 8:30-11:30. We are hoping he makes the adjustment back to school fairly easily.

Bailee is 2 months!



Bailee now weighs 11 lbs 11 oz and is 23 in long. She has a wonderful appetite and has tried a little cereal along with breastmilk and formula. She is smiling a lot more, especially at Jonah and her Daddy! We got her a play mat and she loves laying on it and looking at the toys. She is starting to kind of bat at them too. She is working hard at talking but isn't always very successful.
