Baby L #2 - Week 52

She is 1! I feel like it flew by, I feel like I just found out I was pregnant, I feel like I just took pictures of my belly and I just had her, and I just held her for the first time, and she just started cooing, crawling, talking, moving, walking. I feel like it went by too fast. Emi and I have been together every day of her life. What an incredible honor it has been to be with her, to know her and try to memorize her, to learn her and enjoy...

Baby L #2 - Week 51

Emi's skinis still not doing great. It really doesn't seem to bother her but it is really dry and I don't like it. Aquaphor does seem to be helping but I am trying essential oils more. We will give it a couple more weeks and see. Her and Antonella have been playing more and more together, Antonella is very defensive of her and often tells me Emi is her sister if I am correcting some behaviour. It's adorable. Emi is such a sweet baby, in the mornings...

Baby L #2 - Week 50

Emi has been talking a little bit more. She says mama, papa, no, food and titi and more gibberish she repeats that I am still trying to figure out. She's generally happy and smiley but if she's hungry she gets cranky fast, same if she's tired. She does two 2hr naps at 10am and 3pm and is pretty good about her schedule. She takes her shoes off always and loves baths....

Baby L #2 - Week 49

We finally were able to talk to the doctor about Emi's skin. It is mild eczema, they suggested we get Aquaphor so that we did, we will see. She is still very very attached to me, which I love and also sometimes don't love ha. It is not easy to have a baby constantly expect you to hold her when you have a toddler and a life, but we are learning together to deal with it all. She eats a lot and nurses a lot too, I am not sure I'll be able to wean...

Baby L#2 - Week 48

Isn't she adorable!!!! She has gotten so so so so big. Her skin is still acting strange and there are some rough spots on her cheeks. It is worse in the morning and we still don't know what's causing it. We will probably call the doctor this week to inquire. It doesn't seem to bother her though, it's purely cosmetic. I think she is going through a growth spurt because she has been eating more than usual. But I don't know because she has been...
