Daddy's Girl


Ember is getting bigger every day! Looking at Mike's baby pictures, she looks so much like her daddy! It would be nice if she'd start sleeping through the night. We've tried everything. Maybe it's from spending nine months working graveyards with mom!

Cassie at the Science Fair

Cassie won second place in the Health and Medicine division at the science fair. She had taken a prenatal class to get ready to be in the room during her sister's birth and the nurse told us that breastfed babies are smarter and decided to test this. She gave a random IQ test to a group of her friends and had their mothers fill out a questionnaire about how long they were breastfed. Turns out the bottle fed kids scored higher!

Ember had her first taste of real foods the other day. We started her on applesauce because she had had juice before and I thought she might do better with a familiar flavor. I was expecting to just get a few bites down her but she ended up scarfing it down! She loved it.
The carrots we tried next didn't go over as well but she practically attacked the spoon when we gave her mashed potatoes! They're the best if you ask her!
