We returned from our trip to Orlando and got ready for the fun wedding weekend of Mike and Liz Grandy. Friday, Lauren and I joined the wedding group at Rock It Lanes for a bowling party. Lauren loved watching all the lights and tons of people bowling. Here she is chewing on a pizza crust--feels so good to itching gums! Notice the bottle with prune juice in it. I always feel so uneasy feeding Lauren her Prune Juice/water/Miralax mixture in public because it looks like I'm giving her Coke in a bottle! I always feel the need to explain myself. :-) I have tried to wean her from both prune juice and Miralax separately, but it looks as if this will be part of her diet for a while. The poor baby's constipation is a bear without it. Dr. Rachesky has reassured me that it is okay for her to be on it for many months without her system becoming used to it. She is definitely a happier baby when her constipation stays away, so prune juice it is for now.

Lauren was a good girl for the entire game and saw Aunt Kay cheer during the second half.
She slept in Mommy's 30 year old crib through the night and "didn't cry the entire time at Gigi's house" per Gigi. The next morning, she went to the nursery at church and played with cousins Gavin and Logan. Mommy survived Night #2 (in 7 months) away from Lauren and was glad she had a night to herself with friends and Daddy (we ended up going to a nice dinner after the reception and then to a movie--in our nice clothes! We took advantage of every minute it was just the two of us!)
Thank you Gigi and Pops for loving on Lauren for 24 hours!
Well, don't fret about the sippy cup thing...or maybe I should. Sophia still doesn't drink from her sippy cup much and she's 11 months old now. In fact, she doesn't drink much of anything except her formula. Sippy cups are fun things to throw on the floor and watch Mommy fetch. She's so different from Gabby who took to her sippy cup at around 6 months. Everyone is on their own time table I guess.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fun weekend with the wedding and all. Thank goodness for family. You guys did good in taking advantage.
As always, we're enjoying the updates. Looking forward to meeting little Lauren in person in the near future!
