Mom

We lost my mom unexpectedly last Thursday the 22nd. I have no words to express how much I loved her and miss her.
I'm grateful for all the support and prayers.

Bliss

We were predicting it would go another way, but its true - Jethro has taken to Audrey. He likes cuddle time particularly well. Her feet are good for scratchin'.

Audrey's first "A" pancake


She can't eat it, so mom was kind enough to eat it for her. (I'm such a giving mother. Haha.)

In other eating/health news, AudBall's gastrointestinal troubles continue. The doctors decided she's suffering from an "unspecified virus" and told us to just ride it out. After 10 days that isn't sitting well with us so I'm breaking down the food I've eaten lately to see if it could have possibly triggered this issue. Plus we changed her formula (we're supplementing breast milk with formula) to a "sensitive stomach" type. The switch of the formula relieved some of her gas pain immediately which leads us to think we're on the right track by tracing it to food. We'll see.

In the meantime, I haven't cut syrup out of my diet...
