Well, I haven't updated in a while, and I have started to a few times, but sometimes it's hard to be able to sit and finish something I started. The main reason for that is because Aliza cries a lot. And I mean like, a lot. We have tried lots of different things to make her happy but nothing has worked yet. Now I am going to eat nothing but oatmeal, bananas and toast, and see if its lactose that bothers her. No milk or dairy at all. Her doctor says that after 3 months, her stomach should be able to handle more food. I hope this makes her a happier baby. It sucks right now because we are scared to take her anywhere.

To learn how this new little person works and teach them to sleep a long time at night – is that possible?? I’ll try…I had a few good nights, then a really bad one and another good one. I guess it is all up and down for the first few months. But she is just as precious as she can be. I know people say it’s gas, but I don’t believe it. I will look at her and smile and she smiles back. I just know it. And she has the cutest little dimple on her left cheek. I wish I could get a good picture of it. Its hard to time it just right… Marielle is really adjusting well to her new little sister. She gives her kisses and hugs anytime she sees her. She doesn’t seem to be jealous, except ...
