So, just to update you Lorelai had her 2 week appointment with the pediatrician. She is now 7 lbs. 1.5 oz. and is 20 in. tall. The dr. was very pleased. She looks great. Unfortunately Lorelai seems to experience the same intolerance issues with regular formula that Gabriel did at this early age. Luckily we know the signs and have been able to help her out with the burn she got on her bum quickly. In the meantime we are attempting to find the right formula for her. Currently we're dealing with constipation issues due to the change in formula so I guess we shall see what happens. My poor babies. Why can't they just use the regular stuff? :(

We finally got out of the house on our first errand. Everyone did great and I was very pleased at how smoothly it went. I wore Lorelai in my baby carrier and Gabriel was in the seat of the cart. I was appalled at how many people still attempted to touch Lorelai even though she was strapped to me in they BabyHawk. They basically had to put their hands down inside the carrier near my boobs. Seriously people? Personal bubble!
Lorelai has also finally gotten to use the swing a bit. She tolerates it. She doesn't seem as happy in "contraptions" as Gabriel was. I wear her in the BabyHawk a lot on weekdays.

And here it is! Lorelai's first bath!!! :)
 |
| I do not like this, Mommy! (Don't you love how Gabriel is watching the first bath happenings standing on a dining room chair? Oh, and please pardon my pajamas. We do what we can, when we can around here these days.) |
 |
| Oh, this isn't so bad! (Love that little face!) |
 |
| Man, being a newborn is tough! |
 |
| Here is the play kitchen. Still a work in progress. Most everything major is done though. We still need to add the faucet and the knobs for the hot and cold "water." And yes, the knobs do turn. :) I also need to paint a little area with chalkboard paint for the menu board and Brian will put trim around that. I may add a hook to hang the pot holder on as well. Now it's up to me to make the baskets for the shelves and the felt food. (Someday...when I have time, and have finished Lorelai's Christmas stocking.) |
 |
| I made these salt and pepper shakers with wooden spools and wooden domed disks on top. I put rice in the hole of the spool so it makes a shaking sound when he uses them, and closed off the bottom with a little flat wooden circle. |
 |
| This is the fabric I will be using to make the baskets for the shelves. Isn't it cute?! I love that it's kitchen related and retro looking. |
