Slacking!

I can't believe that it has almost been a month since my last blog. There is so much to say. I'll start with Carla... Of course! I have started to TRY to teach her how to feed herself using a spoon. Yup, as seen below, why does she need a spoon when she has hands??? She still won't feed herself, so I decided, she isn't ready. I get to feed her a little while longer. I love watching her eat finger foods though. She usually makes such a mess, that the most effective way to clean her is to stick her in the bath! I'm loving being a mom!

Carla has been really sick lately. This is how we know that she is REALLY, REALLY sick.... she snuggles! She was vomiting for 3 weeks, had diarehhea for 3 1/2 weeks, has had two yeast infections, currently on her third, back to back colds, and on the 14th she cut her left 18 month molar, and on the 16th, cut her right 18 month molar. They did stool samples to see why she has had diarreah and been vomiting for so long. Although it was to no avail. Everything came back negative. So, doctor's diagnose... a virus. Poor baby! During the whole ordeal, she was put on a liquid diet... TWICE, and then we had to gradually reintroduce solids. She was NOT a fan of the liquid diet, except for the fact that now she is in love with nursing again. She nurses for at least 10 minutes on each side. Fun stuff, especially because I'm supposed to be weaning her this month. Well, we'll see how it goes.My mommy, bringing Carlita, Gatorade, during her liquid diet time.

Some people think this is too mushy, but I LOVE IT! One of the many reasons why Zach is the love of my life...Mission Reunion Time!!! I love Pres. and Sister Haines. They have been such amazing rolemodels in my life. I would love to have the same charity that Sister Haines has for EVERYONE she meets. What amazing people they are. Sadly, three days after the reunion a beloved couple sister missionary was called home. Sister Ruth Merrill. I love her dearly and is missed so much! I loved randomly recieving her phone calls, just checking up on Carla. She made her some burp cloths. They will be treasured forever.

We loved seeing many of our other mission friends. Oh what fun! Homles, I don't have a picture of us! Know that I love you though!

  1. The cool thing about this post was that I didn't have to read your blog to know about all this stuff. I am glad we have been able to catch up lately. And don't worry about not having a photo of me at the reunion, I know you love me!

  2. I'm sorry that Carla is sick...Wondering though, maybe it's the apartment...I say that because since we've been here NO ONE has been sick not once. It seemed that we always had someone sick there. Lacey's family too, is seems their is someone always sick, just food for thought. I don't know. Anyways, I hope she starts to feel better soon. Good luck on Weening, Theron is still nursing too. LOL, he's the baby what can I say. I think it was great that you guys got to go to your mission reunion. The joys of Conference :) I miss catching up with you guys. I miss you guys so much.
