Peyton's first love...

Peyton has discovered Elmo. Luckily, he was Addi's first love as well so I have a ton of DVDs for the car. As I put Peyton in the car everyday she immediately points to the DVD and says "Elmo?" I think "Elmo" might mean any movie but it is still pretty cute :) And thankfully, Addi still tolerates Elmo's world so we have very few arguments over the movie selection. Here are a few pictures of Peyton feeding her new friend...

The sleepless nights have returned!

At Peyton's final appt with TCH Immunology the Doc gave me a hard time about giving her Rice milk instead of Soy Milk. She claimed there was just not enough fat in Rice milk for necessary brain development and of course discounted the excessive hormones in Soy milk. Still not ready to move to Soy I decided I would try Goat's milk instead. I had heard mixed results...some say it was great others say they had the same results as with cows milk. I figured it was worth a shot and almost 3 weeks later I am STILL paying for it! It obviously didn't work and it was evident by the end of the 2nd day. She was full of snot and pretty grouchy. I decided to stick with it for a full week just in case it was actually a poorly timed cold but by the end of the week, she was so snotty, waking early, not napping well and becoming increasingly cranky. UGGGG what did I do!!!!

The one good thing is I know FOR SURE she has a milk protein allergy that was causing her to get sick over and over again. The same protein is obviously in Goat's milk because all the same symptoms came flying back. So here I am almost a month later and dealing with a cranky not well rested baby. I briefly tried Soy but she continued to show the same symptoms...the Pedi said he was not at all concerned about the Rice milk and to go back to what works. So...we have been back on Rice milk since Monday but she has still not dried up. I really hope we get back to where we were soon...6am is way too early for ANYONE to be awake!

Sea World Take 2

We decided to venture out to Sea World one last time for the year with Gramma and Granpa. The girls loved all the animals and Peyton even took a 2hr nap in her stroller! Addison got to ride her first real rollercoaster with her daddy. Peyton couldn't take her eyes off of Shamu and thought feeding the dolphins was really neat...although she did want to stick her entire hand in thier mouth! Here are a few pictures:

And I just had to add this...here is Peyton's new "cheese" face. She was TERRIBLE at dinner this night and once the food came she devoured this enitre bowl of spagetti. I guess she was really really hungry because she looks pretty happy now!

First year of Preschool

Addison has officially started Pre-School and she is having a blast! The days are long with no naps(9:30-2:30) so by the time she gets home she is exhausted. From everything I have heard she has a fabulous teacher and so far I have to agree...I have gotten weekly emails about things going on and some even include pictures.

This is one of the pictures I got from her teacher. How cute is this...Addi is in the top right corner.
