My good friend Katie Taylor came back up to the house last week to take photos of kiddo and they are amazing. 

We went on our first walk outside today with the stroller and had a blast with my Aunt, Mimi to the kids. She’s been here most of the week and we’ve had such fun. Hopefully she’ll be coming back to visit with us soon.

In other news, two rounds of “this is a great idea!” turned out not to be a great idea – good job, mommy. Last night I decided it was time to try to get Ember to drink out of a “regular” bottle instead of her little infant nipples and the bottles I use with my pump. So we dug around in my stash (from other people) and used a Dr Browns bottle to do her 11 feeding. She took it like a champ and I was very proud of us both. Then, however, the next 4 hours turned into a disaster. She obviously had a very upset stomach and was generally miserable. I asked a friend, half asleep at 3 am, where my easy baby was and if she’d ever come back. I gave up trying to put her in the bassinet and she slept in her rock n play and woke up happy later. I, however, am still recovering.

Then, today at the store, I picked up some new nipples for the bottles I’m going to keep using and when I went to feed her she hated them. Turns out the note that says “3+ months’ actually means something. Stoopy Mommy. Oh well. I found and ordered some of the slow flow infant ones that she’s been using, and chalked it up to one more Genius Mommy Move.

How about some photos of an adorable little person?
