No Fussy Babies!

Don't you just love it when you find your name and parts of your life in the comics?

Melania wearing her new coat from Great Gma and Uncle Duane & Aunt Barb. Mommy found her hat, and I think the gloves are left over from last year. She was pretty distracted by the garbage truck on its way down the street. Melania and June were headed out on a walk. Mishayla's not big enough to walk, so she has to ride in the stroller. Wow, to be all grown up at age 2! Melania's hair is actually sort of fascinating! This is what happens when you take out braids that have been in for several days and then sleep on it. Dreads! She's just so stinkin' cute! (to quote my friend Lisa's niece).

Sorry there are no new pictures of Mishayla to post. I will try to do better tomorrow. It's just that there are none on the camera, and she is working really hard on falling to sleep... (I hope!) Let's just say the last few days and nights have not been a picnic. It's probably all my fault for choosing a different brand formula with what I assumed were the same properties as what I had been using. (I had coupons!) Enfamil, Similac, all the same stuff, right? Absolutely not. Gpa and Gma let me know that I am not a first time mom, and I should have known better. OK, now I know better. Mishayla has been very fussy, and only sleeps a few minutes without crying unless she is being held, patted, etc. (No, she's not just spoiled!)

It has been a literal "month of Sundays" since I have been able to go to meeting because of the kids or myself being sick. It will be wonderful to be back...

Until about a month ago, I could always get Melania to laugh when I told her, "No fussy babies," in a silly voice when she was on the verge of whining or fussing. So, last night she was patting Mishayla's tummy and telling her "No fussy babies" over and over. It was cute, so I just thought I'd share. Maybe she'll do it again and I'll have the video ready to go...
