New normal
things are calming down a little here and we are finally trying to get a daily schedule worked out. elliot will be 6 weeks old this saturday, so it's time for him to move out of the pack-n-play in our room and into his crib. it's time, but i'll miss being able to just walk a couple of steps to get him. next week we'll be working on getting him on a workable schedule. hopefully my thrush will be completely gone so that truly can happen. speaking of elliot, that child has almost tripled my laundry. he uses at least two or three outfits a day, and sometimes four blankets and a few burp cloths. part of that i guess is me not being able to reuse anything that touches my breasts, but geez, the laundry is out of control...
we've already been working on getting emily and ethan into a routine, and things are going okay, but not great. the biggest adjustment for them has been at meal times. it's been a struggle trying to get emily to eat what we eat. she used to have a great diet, but now it's horrible; it consists of peanut butter sandwiches, pizza, chicken nuggets, fries/tots, pasta and yogurt. she will eat some fruits, but NO vegetables!! i guess it's our fault, but we know we've totally lost control of her. ethan has begun to mimics her every move and now he's starting to change his eating habits. also, we've tried several different vitamins, but she won't take any. we've tried gummivites, flintstones and the liquid kind. any suggestions on handling a picky eater? i almost want to call in to dr. phil.
so anyway, that's about all. i guess we are doing okay!

picky eating doesn't get better? we're in trouble!
A new normal??
Hannah is a picky eater..still, but she goes hungry sometimes. I got tired of fixing her something special. So she eats what we eat or doesn't eat. I always have something she likes, bread or fruit. The times she doesn't eat she eats a big breakfast.
I can't believe she doesn't like the gummy vitamins. Those taste like fruit snacks or gummy bears. What about the ones that disolve on the tongue??
where y'all been?
how is it going??
where have you been? i've seen you pop up in various comment sections, so i know you're out there!
please come back to the blog world. show us pics of the new house or tell us stories of elliot pooping...anything! have you been liberated from breastfeeding? burn your bra and nursing pads (or whatever those boobie covers are called)!
