I Cannot believe that little ms. vaughn-elise is going to be 6 months old on tuesday. Where have the past 6 months gone? That's half a year!!! I cant believe it!!! It seems like I have known her forever but that I just had her a few weeks ago. It makes me sad...if the first six months go this fast- where will the rest of the time go? I try to hold her as much as I can, play with her, love on her. Every small daily thing is special to me. Becuase for so long I didnt think I could have children, I still look at her in amazement. Its strange to think she is really mine. That I have a daughter. Isn't it amazing?!?!

For those of you who know how Vaughn-elise has struggled in the past with her sensitive stomach, i have to say- the troubles have not gone away yet. She is on baby food now and loves it alot! I have been trying to be careful about what I give her, not forcing what she doesnt like, but slowly introducing things. I took her to the doctor last week (I thought she had an ear infection-negetive) and while I was there I asked the doc about when to start introducing stage 2 foods. She said anytime is fine as long as she was doing well with stage 1. So, at target I got a few new kinds. Peas are her favorite so I got spring vegetables(peas and green beans) with rice. BAD IDEA. I dont know if it was becaue of this change in food or what but she was up 5 times in the night (she is used to sleeping 12 hours straight through.) screaming...gassy.....blow out diapers...I felt horrible!!! Today she was fine, still had a blow out, but other than that she was really good. I guess we are going to have to take it really slow. She is teething too. Does this sort of thing happen to teething babies? I am still not convinced her ears are fine. The doctor was a little crazy- some lady we have never been to and Vaughnie is still pulling on her ears and not wanting to be laid down. Her six month is this week, I will have them check the ears again.

Okay, this entry is getting long. I need to go to bed in case she has another rough night.

sorry you had a tough night!! bummer for both of you. i know how those nights can go. she could have eaten too much, gas in her tummy,or it could have been a totally unrelated thing. just happened to be the same night. it's so hard to tell when they can't talk to you. how did last night go?
