pearl smiling at mommy Pearl smiling at Luther my babies Pearl smiling at daddy Pearl is 6 weeks old and will be 7 weeks tomorrow. she has started smiling all of the time. she is beginning to love her swing and she loves being outside. if she is fussing and luther comes over to check on her, she will usually quiet down. she is starting to enjoy all of his attention. it doesn't seem to bother her at all that he is a little too rough. i think she is going to be a tough little girl. she is still not sleeping very well at night. she is usually up 3 or 4 times and many times stays up for several hours in a row. james and i try to trade off the long awake times. i went back on a regular diet last weekend. her poop has never cleared up. it is still full of mucous, actually really all it is is yellow mucous. i have never seen normal poop come out of the child. i did dairy free for 5 weeks and no soy for the last 3 of those weeks. i haven't seen any changes in her poop or her behavio...

My sweet baby boy will be 2 years old in just a few weeks!!! his birthday is on oct 19th. we are planning to have a family birthday party for him the day before his birthday. i think most of our family is going to be able to come. luther has told me he wants a choo choo train party, so i am going to make him a choo choo cake. i know people are going to be asking me soon what to get him for his birthday, so i thought i would make a list. i made one on Amazon. i am sure most of the items(or similar items) could be found at various stores, but it was just easy to make the list on amazon. also, he needs fall clothes. he is wearing a 2T. here is the link for the wish list: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2D52D79QWUMBQ i am not asking for everyone to get him a gift, i just wanted give ideas to anyone planning on getting him something.
