Week 7- Full of Ups and Downs

Yesterday Isabel turned 7 weeks old. This last week has been full of ups and downs for us. On a positive note she is more awake and active then ever. We have been using her play gym every day and it is so hilarious to see her stare at her toys and begin to realize that her hands actually belong to her.
The other day Jason came home from work early and she treated him to the biggest smile ever. It actually made me tear up! It hasn't all been fun and games though. Isabel visited the doctor again this week because of her reflux and gas. Even though I have been off dairy this week she is still very unhappy at feedings, her diapers look slimy and mucousy and she has been very hard to put to sleep at night (poor Jason- he does the evening shift). She also has been fussy and not eating as much at her feedings. We will be going back for her 2 month apt. soon so hopefully she will still be gaining weight.

I had to include a picture of Isabel in an outfit she wore the other day. Her leopard print "uggs" cracked me up and note that her pink shirt from her Grandma Leppin has a dog on it that looks just like Lucky! (BTW-He was not impressed)
