My Love~Hate Relationship with Alimentum

First we will start with my LOVE for this stuff...is only because it makes my little Faith feel better and is definitely making her chubby:)

My HATE for this stuff is due to it costing 100 dollars a week!!!! I breast fed Faith until a couple weeks ago. I guess I feel like a bad mom considering I am on my 3rd child and it took me 6 months to figure out she has a milk protein allergy? In my defense she never was fussy with her spit up not one bit. Yes, she spit up A TON but, she was the best baby. So when I would supplement formula when we were out and about she would spit up even worse. My breast milk wasn't as bad but still not normal. So I tried all different formulas starting in January, I mean EVERY KIND OUT THERE. I was dreading to try the expensive Alimentum. So I finally gave in and tried it and yep sure enough did the trick :)

So of course I love this stuff more than hate it because it is making her feel better, and more convinent for me to not have spit up everywhere. I have also noticed a huge change in her weight. She was pretty little and I always thought that was weird because I do not have little babies! They may be short but not skinny:) So sure enough she is looking more like her big sis now that she is being fed!!!

So here's to the next 6 months Alimentum...it is me and you!

7 MONTHS OLD and Her FIRST word....

Faith turned 7 MONTHS OLD yesterday and said her first word as well! Usually babies will say da da first because it is easier and Max got the first word da da with Grace so I was so excited that Faith said ma ma first. She does the b sounds....like buh buh. So I started saying ma ma to her a ton and yesterday out of the blue she started saying it perfectly. I did take a video off my phone so I am not sure how to transfer but I will take a video with our camera soon so I can post it. It seriously is so cute and she says it clear as day!

Happy St. Patty Day

Kelton is in 4th grade so of course they had to do their big County reports this year. We put quite a bit of time into the report and our diorama and it still wasn't nearly as good as some of the others. lol It was kind of funny because the teacher said I want to see what the kids can do. So I truly let Kelton do his and just helped him where he needed me. Um yeah I can honestly say 90% of the kids in 4th grade had their parents do it for them ;) Kelton was really cute because he had to square dance with a girl. They had been practicing for weeks and Kelton hadn't said a word about it because he gets so embarrassed. He did good though and was a gentlemen.

First nice day of spring~ It was so nice to go outside and get some fresh air. Faith loved it and was a good baby as always :)

Disney on Ice~

This was Faith's first year to Disney on Ice and she loved it. We take Grace every year and thought why not start Faith out young :) Grace loved it too of course.

Philpot St. Patty Day Party

I had made the girls cute St. Patty outfits but we never made it back home after disney on ice ;( I guess I will have to get them out on the actual day and take some pics~

My Little Sweetheart

6 months...do they look alike?

My sis and I have looked like twins from day one. We dont think we look alike but we still to this day get asked if we are twins. Even when I am pregnant and I totally look different. LOL

So Max's family was so curious to see if my girls would be the same as me and my sis. My opinion is not really. LOL Something about them is so similar and I will have those moments where I am like whoa that reminds me of Grace. But their personalities are so diff. I cant find one 6 month pic of Grace without her pulling a funny face or smiling from ear to ear. It is just who she is...then faith is like I have more just straight faced pics. I think they look alot diff but you tell me what you think!
