Happy Happy

The past few days have been so wonderful.We went through a stretch that was pretty hard with Nyla screaming and crying at us for hours. Whooo..that was exhausting and probably even more so since we were trying to figure out what was wrong.  With lots of reading, Ryan and I came to the conclusion that our Sweet Girl had colic.  They say that babies usually out grow it by 3 months which is great news, but what are we suppose to do in the meantime? Starting this past Monday I took dairy completely out of my diet and I'm not eating any onions and garlic. What would you know...a totally different baby!! YEAH!!! She's been happy, content, and she started smiling at us this week. It's so amazing to see that big smile come across her little face.  Maybe she's ecstatic about feeling better now.  :)  Sophia loves when Nyla talks and smiles at her.  Nyla will squeal & smile then Sophia just starts laughing. Thank you Lord for a Happy Happy Baby!

10 lbs. and growing

Can you believe it? Nyla's growing like crazy and was 10 lbs. at her one month appointment.  Her squeals are quite funny and she loves her Big Sis. At times Sophia will sit down beside her and sing or talk to her and she just calms down. Nyla just watches her and takes it all in.  It's so sweet.  It already seems like they have a special bond which is something we continue to pray for for them. 

Sleep is very minimal but it's so amazing to have Nyla with us now. She's such a gift and we love her to death! Isn't it amazing the love you have as a parent for your children? Undescribable. 

Sophia continues to surprise us with her role as Big Sister. She loves having more responsibility and has been super flexible.  Sophia and I have been doing swim lessons in the afternoons for the past couple of weeks and its been really good.  I'll post pictures of her swimming soon.
