We had Bella's 18 month Ped appt on Dec. 22nd. Our pediatrician told us that since Bella was still making gains, we could take her off of formula - FINALLY!!!!! So she's been drinking her milk and water out of a sippy cup (or at least the one with the flip-top straw). She's not quite on whole milk - we've been mixing it with 2%. She still doesn't have very many teeth...about 5 on the bottom on 3 on the top. But man, is she an eater!! She puts away the food...where it goes, we don't know; because she looks as little as ever, but just with a bloated belly. She pretty much sleeps through the night, except for when she wets through her pjs. Any suggestions on that?? Should we stop giving her sippy cup to her at a certain point in the night before bed?
OK...I have soooo been a bad, bad blogger! I can't believe it has been almost two months since my last post!! Bad Facebook, bad Facebook - I've totally been sucked in by their apps!! Anyway, I was tagged by my college pal Jimmie-Sue (who's a fellow FB junkie) to post my Christmas decor. So here goes....
Talk about the Grace of God protecting us! Friday night, we left Canton to drive to Houston for the weekend to see my family, since my little brother was home from Baghdad.
