The girls went apple picking today with Oma and Mommy. Ella had a wonderful time and enjoyed eating the apples and apple cookies.
Meanwhile, back at the stroller, Adele enjoyed a nap:
Ella started school this week (part time) and had re-adjusted to the routine yet again. She talks NON-STOP. She remains a happy, sassy, funny, and smart girl. Ella also dotes on her sister and is quite helpful.
Adele continues to sleep well at night. She has some gassy episodes but since changing my diet, things have improved. She has torticollis (weakened neck muscle on one side) thanks to her rough delivery (forceps). Ella developed torticollis from her reflux. Adele has already started physio with the same therapist who helped Ella. We see another therapist on Monday with the hope of adjusting her nervous system to improve her gas (I have way too much milk that comes in way too fast). It's an alternative way of healing that apparently has awesome results. I have good faith in alternative methods as that is what healed Ella and her reflux - conventional methods failed us. In spite of the gas, Adele is a laid back baby who fusses only when she's uncomfortable. We adore her! She's been smiling for 3 weeks now and has started to laugh. It's hard to believe that she's 8 weeks old already!
