It’s been many many months since I came by here, which is unfortunate, but very necessary. I had pushed out of my mind how intense and rough the first few months can be after birthing a baby. They call it the 4th trimester? I wouldn’t want to continue being pregnant for another 3 months, but part of me wouldn’t mind considering it if it meant these babies could come out just a tad more prepared for being alive. The gas! The crying! For the love of Justin Beiber, let these poor babies be fully functioning when they exit. It’s sad to watch and very hard on us parents who get the babies who don’t deal well with it (Penelope was a baby that dealt very well with it).</div>

It’s been a little rough. Isla is the cutest baby and with great cuteness comes great responsibility to be the fussiest baby around to even things out. Her cuteness is her defense mechanism against getting sent to the cute baby circus at 3am. She isn't my worst baby at all. Chloe and Piper were worse!! Slowly, s.l.o.w.l.y., things will improve but it ill be touch and go here for a while. I cry when she does. We do all the things, yet nothing helps enough. I have days where I literally need to hold and wear her all day while she screams near my ears and by the time Adam gets home I am at hot mess level orange and Piper Penelope and Chloe are sitting in front of the television eating their third pack of fruit snacks because whatthehellever kids I’m just so sorry your sister loves screaming like a banshee and your mom yells a lot. Super sorry.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
She’ll be 2 months old this week. I feel like when this was my first baby I was in the abyss of my own tears trying to figure out what is wrong with her and wondering if it will ever end. But I’ve had one of these things before, and even though I <em style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">think </em>she was a different baby than Chloe, and even Piper I do know that all babies even out eventually and that there is a light somewhere down there. I’m hanging in there because I know that. But I know there are many new moms out there in my spot who may feel alone and overwhelmed and so to you I say, you are doing amazing. This too shall pass. It will get better. It feels like it won’t but it will. No one can promise when, but it will.<br />
<br />
What is really hard to swallow is the mom guilt. Knowing I am spread so thin, that everyone is only getting a piece of me, and that is all I have to give right now. Of this I feel the worst. For now she needs both of my hands, and everyone else gets a pinkie. But I have learned to get help. My mom is helpful, and I have a babysitter 2x a week for a couple of hours to run my errands without 3 little people screaming and whining, just one baby who if I wrap up just so in her Solly carrier will let me walk through Target as I rush to grab everything I need before she decides to wake. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
I’ve found that as she slowly gets better, I also will get better at coping. Does she have reflux?but nothing is really wrong with her that we can “fix”. She’s a baby, she’s new, and she cries. Some babies are just like that. It doesn’t make it any easier, but coming to terms with that is lifting the anxiety. Knowing that I’ve done all the things I can to make her comfortable and that after that she’s just going to yell if she wants to, has made my days feel easier Accepting that this time is so short in the grand scheme and that my house will be a mess and I will be a mess right now and someday maybe it won’t and maybe I wont, has helped. And I can’t be sure but I think my relaxing lately has helped her as well. I’m sure she could sense my anxiety because even though they are new, babies are smart like that.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
So here we are at 8 weeks and a combination of me relaxing, her insides maturing, and quite simply, <em style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">time</em>, will give me the ability to do things like eat, clean up the house, and open my computer. I will get to enjoy my baby, which I feel like I have been kind of robbed of for a while. I know lots of babies cry for much longer and things could be much, much worse, but I still feel that way. Sleep deprivation makes everything worse. Being a new mom is really f*** hard even in the most lovely of circumstances. You’re doing okay, and so will I.</div>

My friend Shelley insisted on throwing me, and my friend Lacie a baby shower for my 4th and her 3rd girl. She went with a "little pumpkin" theme. It. was. darling! She made these adorable little stuffed pumpkins in mint and coral. The food was divine, and the company was perfect.</div>

It's been so fun being pregnant with Lacie. Her oldest (evey) and Piper are the same age, and her second (Lyla) and Penelope are about the same age. Now these little girls get to be around the same age, and I am so excited that we get to share this fun journey together. </center>

This little girl is so excited to be back at school with her friends. She really missed them! This morning she was so happy to go, the only thing she was a little nervous about was how to pay for lunch in the cafeteria. I assured her that because she has never been to all day school and eaten in the cafeteria before someone would show her where to go and what to do. She went to classroom 18 and found her friend Victoria (Vicki) and ran off giggling and playing. She is in PALS and has the same teacher Ms. Robinson this year again, so that is comforting. I can't wait to hear more about how her day went! Update to come..<br />

Chloe had her 6th birthday party last week. It was a very big week for us! She graduated from Kindergarten on her birthday! The following day we celebrated her birth day by taking her and a few of her Friends to sky high to jump, and then have pizza, and treats! <br />

She requested a "blue floral" party, so that's what she got! It was a very simple party, and the kiddos had a blast. I wasn't feeling very well that week, so my plans for a her didn't pan out, but I think she had a great time, and everyone was happy. She is getting so big1 She has lost 2 teeth so far (her bottom front teeth). Chloe can polish her own toe nails and finger nails. She got a play makeup set, and polish set from her grandparents for her birthday, and she has been loving that! She also got a new pair of heels from her daddy that she is really happy about. Her grandma got her a color changing barbie that you can color her makeup hair, and nails with cold water, and when she gets warm it all comes back off.</center>

As soon as our girls are old enough we let them decide what they want as a theme for their birthdays. This year Piper decided she wanted to have a "Strawberry Pink" party, so we went for it!

Piper loves to play with kids that are older than her. She loves Chloe's friends, and when Chloe has her friend over Piper thinks it is her play date too. Chloe hates this.

Piper's favorite thing to do is play with the Sharapatas. They are our neighbors, and they have 5 girls, that love Piper, and are so kind to her. Piper's best friend is Ruby Sharapata, who is 8 years older than she is.

See the little ouchie on her chin? She got that while getting too close to the hot cake pans after they came out of the oven. I told her "don't touch the cake it's hot" so she settled for just smelling it, but her little chin paid the price :(</center>

The hit of the party was the water blob that Adam made for the kids. Unfortunately is was a bit windy and cool so we didn't do the slip and slide, and sprinklers/kiddie pool. Special thanks to my friend Darby for the water blob idea. Unfortunately it sprung holes, and only lasted 30 minutes. Oh well it was fun while it lasted.</center>

This was the 6 inch cake we ate The day before the party on Piper's actual birthday. It was my favorite. It was a strawberry cake with strawberry filling, and a strawberry jello cream frosting. It was tasty.</center>

These Strawberry cookies were my first attempt at royal icing sugar cookies.. The next time I make royal icing cookies I will just buy pre made sugar cookie dough and then make the royal icing to decorate with, because once you add royal icing (in my opinion) it ruins the cookie anyway lol</center>

You are now almost 15 months old. You are 16lbs, and love to crawl all over the place. You prefer to not be confined. You like to stand up in the shopping cart. You have just this week decided you need to taste everything anyone is eating. You squawk and yell something that sounds like "Dat iwan Dat!" until someone gives you a bite. You just started to swallow a little bit of your food. You love smoothies, and water. You can sign "more" You have started to tantrum. You will swat at someone when they are bothering you. You shake your head no when you don't want something. </center>

Our adopted Grandma Joanie set up the most adorable Easter hunt for a few of the girls in Chloe's class, and envited us to join. She had everything set up so perfectly. We first ate lunch and then played with playdough, and then went out for the hunt. The girls loved every minute of it.</center>

I was really very proud of Piper at the Hunt. She behaved so well, and was super excited to be hunting for eggs. She didn't even stop to find out what was in the eggs. She just kept hunting, and when she found out that there were prizes in her eggs.. she was so serious about keeping this fun going for as long as possible.</center>

Penelope was really great too. It was her nap time, but she wasn't grumpy at all. She enjoyed checking out all of the gorgeous gardens, and flowers while the older girls hunted.</center>

Penelope is on a blenderized diet. She is on a 1,000+ calorie diet. She takes a 4 ounce breast milk pump feed at 7am. We pump it in slowly, becasue if not then it all comes up :/ It takes a little over an hour to feed her 4oz. then at 10am she takes a bolus feed of about 2oz. which is a wider tube that we put directly into her stomach and fill with baby food/ blenderized meals and we slowly let gravity drain the food diretly into her tummy. At 1pm she naps with Piper and we pump feed her another 4 ounces of bm/or whole milk and cream mixture taking over an hour. at 4pm she takes another bolus snack, and when she goes down at 720 She feeds all night long on a slow rate and takes in about 15ounces through the night.</div>

<span style="text-align: start;"> </span><i style="text-align: start;">This</i><span style="text-align: start;"> </span><span style="text-align: start;">is our routine every. single. day. We also obviously give her table food all day, and put her in the highchair every meal we eat. She does put some food into her mouth, but usually she either saves it in her cheek, or in the roof of her mouth, or chews it and spits it out. </span></center>

I make her "meals" in large batches as you can see, and freeze them. I pop one out every few days to thaw and leave in the fridge and alternate between a vegetable and meat blend, and a fruit blend. Luckily Penelope doesn't protest her veggies, becasue she doesn't taste them. We put loads of kale, spinach, you name it into her "meals' and the taste doesn't matter. She is likely the healthiest eater in our house! </center>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Becasue P doesn't gain weight easily we add coconut oil, nut butters, avacado oil etc into all of her meals to try to help her keep weight on.We also have been told by her nutritionist to add cream to her whole milk. She is 13 months, and weighs 15lbs 2oz. So we really push the fat content. This video below is of me switching out her old Gtube for a new one..</div>

Penelope mae is ten months old! All I can think is that in less than two months she will be a year old!! I have never felt so in denial with any of my babies before. I see her as muuuch younger, in part due to her teeeeeny self!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 1penella_zpsrqjd9s3c.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l616/lulucooper/1penella_zpsrqjd9s3c.jpg" /></a>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Penelope is 12lbs 9 ounces at ten months 15 days old (today)!! She has still never been on the charts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We noticed that Penelope stopped getting any taller about 2 months or so ago. She is roughly the same height as when she was 6 months old, and some, but not much heavier than then.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Penelope still fits into 3-6 month old clothing. She has worn the same 3-6 month outfits for 5 months! I am getting tired of the same stuff, but I don't buy any more of this size, because I keep thinking that any day now she will grow into her 6 month stuff. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Penelope started putting things into her mouth to taste/ gum them about a month ago (9 months) she doesn't eat much of it, but clearly enjoys it some. Total a day she probably takes less than an ounce in a 24 hour period by mouth. The rest is all by feeding tube. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Penelope used to be the most amazing sleeper EVER!!! Now she's just Okay..She goes down for the night at 7pm. She now wakes between 6-645 and goes back down for her morning nap at roughly 9 depending on when she wakes. (we try to go down 2-2.5 hours after wake time) She usually sleeps about an hour and 20 minutes in the morning. Then she goes back down for her second nap at about 1pm, and sleeps for about an hour. I time Piper and Penelope's naps in the afternoon, so I can get some down time. </div>

<ul>
<li style="text-align: center;">Penelope can wave bye bye.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">She says Mama Dada and night night (Ni Ni)</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">She rarely does anything on que</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">She is hard to get to smile. She almost never smiles at strangers, even when they try really hard!</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">She likes being held, and has started letting us know what she likes and doesn't with a shreek and flapping arms.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">She likes tickles and rapberries.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">She loves suckers, and anytime her sisters have one, she will shreek and flap until someone gets her one.</li>

<li style="text-align: center;">She sits up, and pivots. she can hold her self up on a hands and knees position, but not for long. She doesnt try to do any getting around</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">She never bares weight on her feet/legs</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">Not a fan of hats, or headbands.. Not that that stops me!</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">She loves my phone, and watching youtube</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">Her indipendent play is not as great as it used to be. She wants to be carried a ton.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">She grabs for everything!</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">She is still tightly swaddled to sleep.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">She sleeps on her side, and back.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">She usually stays asleep through the night.</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">She has two bottom teeth.</li>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so in love with her that often times I try to get her attention, or make her smile, and she sees me (I know you do!!) but she ignores me and tries to look at something else. She will holler out her pterodactyl screech when she doesn't want me to bother her. Speaking of her being bothered. Chloe just <i>adores </i>her! She is so good with baby P! It is so sweet. They have always had a great bond. Somethimes Chloe will carry her around too much or be in her face just a tad much, and Penelope has no problem telling her off. She has found her voice to let us know her likes and dislikes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Penelope has a natural pout/ duck lip look. We think it's cute! She has always had swollen looking top gums, and when people see her they exclaim that her top teeth are coming in, although they are not. She has pretty curled dark eyelashes, and blue eyes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We just adore our Penelope mae! </div>

<br />
My sweet little teeny Penelope you are 37 weeks, and five days old today. That is 8.7 months old! I just cannot believe it!!<br />
<br />
Penelope got her first tooth on my birthday! She was 8 months and 6 days old, and it completely shocked me!! I couldn't believe it! She is sooooo teeny and because she doesn't eat by mouth I figured her body would send a signal to her brain that she didn't need these teeth just yet.. I was wrong! Her little bottom left tooth is through, and I believe the bottom right will follow shortly.<br />
<br />
Penelope has changed dramatically in the past month. She is now sitting up as of 2 weeks ago (8 months and a few days old )<br />
<br />
She is not sleeping as well as she used to. She sleeps from 7pm-5am Her nap in the morning is between 1-1.5 hours and her afternoon nap is now is anywhere from 45 minutes - 1.5 hours. Where did my amazing sleeper go!! The hardest for me is that she gets up at 5am ready for the day!! Eek!<br />
<br />
She says Mamma, and when she cries she cries out "Mamma" because she knows I will rescue her. She makes the sound Na na na also.<br />
<br />
Another new thing about Penelope is that she has stopped playing on her own lately. She only wants to be carried and held.<br />
She will grab at everything, and loves to grab your plate of food from you. She plays with food with her hands, and loves a lick of her sister's lollipops.<br />
<br />
Penelope got a bug last month, and was unable to keep much down. Because she is so little I called her GI dr to ask what I should do to help her to not lose weight. She advised me to take out all of the additives from her breast milk while she was sick, and see if she could keep it down better, so I took out her Enfacare calorie additive and watched and waited..She got well soon after and then.. well something miraculous happened.. She stopped dry heaving, and throwing up.. as in Never did again! I then realized that she has a major intolerance to the formula additive I was putting in the breast milk! All of her 8 months we have battled her vomiting, and now just like that it's gone! We hope she will gain a little better from here on out!<br />

this post is laaaaaate! but i'll make it short and sweet. The girls had a blast this year! It was really hot this Halloween and the girls didn't want to wear their warm Halloween costumes, so we went with some oldies from the Halloween bid in the basement.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girls went to Chloe's school party, ward party, downtown trick or treating, and had a blast!

You are as smart as they come! You are also as crazy, and feisty as they come too! You have a temper that spits venom.<br />

You can be THE cutest thing, you like to recall stories in full detail, and tell us with a huge smile on your face what happened, while using your hands, facial expressions, and body to express your self. You <i>thirst </i>for knowledge, and pick things up <i>super </i>quick!<br />

Your tantrums are out of this world. You get mad at the drop of a hat, and will not give up. You instantly throw things, and look to find someone/thing to take your frustration out on. You have a huge vocabulary, but in those moments have a hard time expressing yourself verbally. You still can't say your S's R's or L's without a lisp. It's very cute.<br />
<br />
You still look nothing like your father or I. We used to think that you looked like Grandpa Baird as a baby. but now perhaps like your dad's Aunt Charlotte ( Grandpa Baird's sister). You have very blonde hair with only a teeny tint of peach in it. You have light freckles across your nose.<br />
<br />
You want to do <b>everything </b>by your self " I do it my THELF!!" is commonly heard around these parts.<br />
<br />
You like to do everything Chloe does, and you think you are five also. You run around and follow her every time her friends are over, and Chloe hates this. You get frustrated and angry that they won't include you in things. You think Chloe's friends are yours.<br />
<br />
You are not nice to the dog, You are doing <i>so </i>great with your potty training. For the last two months you have had about an accident every other day, but now you can go through the night and day and stay dry. You will <i>not </i>go unless it's your idea.<br />
<br />
You have a jealous streak. You despise being confined, and everyone gets to hear about it. You hate the car seat. You won't ever sit for dinner no matter what we do. You are a snacker, and like to eat while you run around. You are so very hard to tame, but you need to know your boundaries.<br />
<br />
You are hot then you're cold. You can turn on a dime.. proof below. These pictures were taken 3 seconds apart. You just decided that you didn't want to do what you were told, and you were <i>done. </i>Just like that. You are <i>super </i>difficult to take picture of.<br />

<br />
You love to climb and Jump.<br />
<br />
You love yogurt time with daddy<br />
<br />
You stomp everywhere you go. You are rarely quiet.<br />
<br />
You are liked by everyone. Your teachers in church, your MMO teachers, kids.. everyone!<br />
<br />
You know many many songs, and sing all of the time. You can hear a song once and recall most of the words and tune.<br />
<br />
You can climb into your crib, but not out.. yet. Yay!<br />
<br />
You are susceptible to stomach bugs, and have a weak stomach when it comes to being sick. You are pretty good at knowing that you should throw up in the bowl have little accidents.<br />
<br />
You and Chloe fight over <i>everything. </i>A song comes on the radio and you will claim it as <i>yours </i>and <i>yours </i>alone. So much screaming and fighting over this kind of stuff. "I want the biggest one" can be heard numerous times in our house.<br />
<br />
You open candy in stores and think whatever is there is for you to eat. You are so sneaky. So sneaky. <strike>Sometimes </strike> a lot of the time it makes me laugh that you think I don't see you. I have to pretend that I'm not happy with you, when really it's so blatant and funny that I want to laugh at how funny it was.<br />
<br />
We love you so much, and you surely keep us on our toes!<br />
