We went to the doctor last Friday for Carly's checkup. I was amazed to find out that Carly is already weighing 9 pounds and 5 ounces! This puts her at 75 percent for her weight. That is two pounds more than her birth weight! I don't remember what her length and head width was, but they both were considered 50 percent. I can't believe she is already a little over 3 weeks old! In some ways it has gone fast and in some ways slow! Overall, she is doing great! She is on Prevacid now for her acid reflux, which has helped. The doctor advised us to keep letting her sleep in her carseat. This is where she is most comfortable and it helps with her acid reflux. I don't know if any of you have heard of the Nap Nanny? This is something that you can purchase to keep babies elevated when they are sleeping. I thought this was a good option, but it is over 100 dollars! Good grief! We will have to wait and see if we want to spend the money on that. Let me know if any of you have used it and have had good results. You can buy them at baby stores. Kate has still been doing a really good job with Carly. She has also gotten more interested in her babies since we have had Carly, which is so sweet. Last Saturday was the March for Babies Race at Dallas White Rock and Kamara's small group along with family, friends, and some other people from church joined a team called Race For Ryleigh Grace. I was so disappointed that I could not be there. We did not feel that it was a good idea to be in that setting with Carly just being three weeks old. However, Zack did go with Kate. I enjoyed looking over the footage and pictures of this great event. It really meant a lot to the family that so many people came to support Ryleigh Grace and the March of Dimes. The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. They have blessed many lives with all of their research.
Enjoy the pictures! I also am posting some pictures of Carly's room.
Kate being sweet to her little sister. At first I wasn't going to post the second picture due to Kate's drooling, but I thought oh well! They are still cute pictures. One day Kate will stop drooling!
One of the activities that I do with Kate to keep her entertained at home. We just put a bucket of soapy water outside with some different measuring cups and spoons and she has a blast! However, she also likes to dump out the water!
This is what happens when Daddy plays with Kate outside. He put some nice stripes of dirt on her face!
A couple of pictures from the Race! These shirts won the shirt contest! Robbie from their church did a great job putting this all together and making these shirts with his wife Kristen.

Kate's putting her baby in the stroller. So cute!

Hey Tami its Katy! Jadyn had refux and we ended up putting a pillow under her mattress and then eventually when she was a little bigger bricks under the legs of on side of her crib to keep her elevated. I think she was on 3 kinds of medications until we found something that worked a little. I hope yall figure out a solution soon refulx can be so hard!
Sweet girls! We miss you guys; we'll have to get together for a play date soon!
What sweet girls you have! It was so good to talk to you today. I am so glad you called! It's always nice to talk with someone who is going through the same thing. Hopefully we can talk again soon and see how our babies are feeling.
I WANT MORE PICTURES OF MY NEW NIECE!!!!!!! She is too precious! Just want to see more of her! We put a couple/few rolled up towels under Cole's mattress to raise it and put the anti-rolling thing around him so he wouldn't scootch down to the bottom of the crib. Love y'all! Lauren
