September

September if absolutely flying by!! The leaves are quickly changing and falling. It seems like it was only a week ago that I was praying for June to get here already. And here we are... nearing the end of September.

We made it our newborn group today for the first time in a few weeks. We made at a local park, so I was able to take Anya with me. (You may notice I go back in forth between mom's group and newborn group. Its all the same... I just call it different things with different people.) It was SO nice to be back. I really missed it. As soon as Milo and I walked up to the group, no one could believe how big Milo was. There are several babies that are a few weeks older than Milo and still look like cute little babies. Milo looks HUGE compared to them. And I don't mean this in a bragging way... but several of them just rolled over for the first time today. Milo was about 8 weeks old when he rolled for the first time. I have no clue why Milo is so big and 'mature' for his age, but that's how its been since day one. I remember my lactation consultant looked at Milo at about one week of age and said that is NOT a newborn baby. And there were a couple brand new babies. They were SOOO tiny. It was hard to believe Milo was ever that small. It makes me just a little sad that he's growing so fast. I need him to slow down just a little bit.

I also got to talk to my lactation consultant today. We had a conversation about how things are going. We're thinking the next step may be to try some physical therapy. I guess this is more often seen in csection babies, but sometimes a baby's jaw muscles can be too tight... which is going to affect how they open and latch. I don't know how you do PT on an infant's jaw, but we'll give it a shot!

I guess that's about it. Anya caught her first cold from school... so I've been trying to keep her nose wipes and everything sanitized. And I've been pumping that OJ!
