So much going on!...

Wow... again it's been over a week since I last posted. Time is flying by and I just can't seem to keep up. Harper will be 6 months tomorrow. I can't believe it! Her 6 month well check is this Friday, so I will definitely post again with her latest stats and I'll compare them to Riley and when Jimmy and I were that age. To top it off, she's crawling already! Can you believe it? Here is a short video of her in action...

Riley is doing really great as well. Last night, Jimmy gave her a bath and pulled her hair back into a ponytail after getting her into her PJs. I had a bittersweet moment when she ran into the room, all smiles, shouting that "I got a pony tail mommy! Daddy did it!" I couldn't help looking at her and suddenly realizing she's not a baby anymore. She's a little GIRL. Ouch ouch ouch. That made my heart hurt. I'm so proud of her and so blessed to have both her and Harper, but sometimes I just want to stop time for a second and enjoy the moment before it passes.

Riley is talking up a storm and her vocabulary and child logic astonishes me daily. Do you remember the story I told you about daddy accidentally flushing Riley's purple paci down the toilet? You'd think she'd have forgotten the incident by now, but oh no. No way. In fact, now she has to have two, sometimes even three pacis with her. I swear we traumatized her for life. This was a conversation we had just a couple of days ago:

Riley: Where's my purple paci?
Me: It's gone. It went down the toilet.
Riley: Daddy flushed it?
Me: Yes, daddy flushed it.
Riley: It was an accident?
Me: Yes, it was an accident.
Riley: It's okay. Purple paci was broken.

Wow. Just wow. LOL. Harper still is sleeping on the couch with me at night but I'm hoping to get her in the crib in the next couple of weeks. I'm foreseeing a LOT of sleepless nights ahead, but hopefully, she'll adapt quickly cause I REALLY miss my bed. Oy. On another sad note, I've stopped pumping breastmilk because not only was my supply really low, but I'd developed another infection on both nipples and they were extremely raw and painful. Pumping was torturous. At least I was able to give her breastmilk for nearly six months. I was just shy of it by a week. **sigh** She's doing well on the formula though and has started eating a few solids here and there. Mostly fruits with some rice cereal. Did I mention she's crawling already? She is always after Riley's Legos. She loves those things. She's got one little white spot of a tooth peeking through her bottom gum, but it seems content to stay down and just peek through at us. She still drools constantly too. I hesitate to say this, cause I'll probably jinx it again, but she is back to full health. No more breathing trouble or breathing treatments for the time being. Another reason why now would be the best time to make the move to the crib at night.

Well, my lunch break is nearly over and I need to get back to work. Here are a few pics from the last week to tide you over until Friday's update. Love you all!
