New toys











Those are some of ther birthday gifts Mei Li got - she loves them! We are having a little bit of grumpiness this week - she is no longer getting her afternoon bottle. The doctor said to start switching her to milk, and to give it to her in a sippy cup. So she only gets a morning bottle and bedtime bottle now, and she is not too happy about it. It is killing mommy - I would rather just give her the bottle so she won't get upset and cry. It is so pitiful!
This is my last week at home with her. That is also killing mommy. I took her over to her day care today, and she was very quiet. Most of the kids had runny noses, and a couple cried ALOT. Monday is not going to be a good day for either of us. Plus , Mei still wakes up 2 or 3 times a night, so next week is going to be rough since we both have to get up early, and we will both have long days. I hate to wish time away, but I hope next week goes quickly, and she adjusts to the new routine.

Hi LeeAnn - Glad to hear MeiLi is adjusting so easily. She looks so happy and healthy! I can't believe you'll be back next week. I'm looking forward to hearing all about your journey to MeiLi. Enjoy the rest of your week!

Hey there LeeAnn!

We need to catch up because I can relate to going back to work and a child that doesn't sleep :)

As for daycare - she will be fine, trust me it's harder on us then it is for them - Tori loves her school!

OH yeah, one more thing - Tori hated her sippy cup at first too. Actually, she would throw it in the floor when you put it in front of her. But I tried the "nubby" cups - that's the brand name, the tip is more soft like a bottle, and Tori took to them really well. I found some at CVS and at Wal-Mart.

I'll be thinking of you next week, hang in there!!
