Makayla's New Bed

Makayla has gotten used to her toddler bed faster than we thought. From day one she has not had any problems falling asleep in her new bed. However, at times, her leg(s) will get stuck in between some of the sidebars, but other than that she doesn't really seem phased about the new sleep arrangement. She still doesn't know how to, or doesn't dare to try, get off the bed on her own. So some mornings we will check on her and she'll just be sitting there on her bed, head down, just waiting for us. Haha, she is so funny. Here is a video I took of her in the morning after her first night in the toddler bed:

She has tossed the blankets around a bit, and her head ended up facing the opposite way we put her in, but she seemed happy.

Hello all! I have uploaded more videos to our YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/bryanschmidty

Family Matters

Makayla has been doing much better since we got the mightly teething tablets! I also think finally the teeth have cut through. And once that happens it just gets better from there. She has been acting much better. Almost back to her normal self. We also got her this toothbrush thing you put on your finger and some kid toothpast and you can bruch your childs teeth. Since Makayla is eating almost everything we eat, and her teeth are almost all in. It is important to try to keep her teeth clean.
Kyle is super cute! He is really making sounds when I talk to him. He is also smiling. I call him "my morning boy," because in the morning he smiles the most. I think he may be a morning person. which would mean he is so far the only morning person in the family. He still wakes up every 5-6 hours at night to eat, then most of the time he goes right back to sleep. On Friday he got his shots. When Makayla got her shots, you wouldn't know by the end of the day that she had them. But Kyle hasn't been feeling good. And you can see where he got them because his leg is all red there. I have been told to rub it, it will hurt at first but it will help the mucels. I don't know if I can do it.
Bryan took some days off of work, and I think he is excited to go back. I think Bryan needs a break. lol.

teething trails

So far Makayla has been taking the whole teething thing well. Better than I expected. However the beginning of the week, she was acting sick. Then Tuesday she had a fever. And Tuesday night she didn't sleep at all. Almost the whole time she was awake she was screaming. From about 3am-7:30am she was wide awake. Finally 7:30am I put her in her crib and let her cry it out. I was exhausted. She slept for a couple of hours, that was good for her. So Wednesday morning I went to visit my parents, it is nice for all of us to get out of the house for a day. Bryan was able to stay home and sleep. Ironically Bryan planned to take Wednsday - Friday off just to take a break and get more sleep and he's now getting less. At least she is almost done teething. Unfortunally we are going to have to go through this all again with Kyle. Oh well, they are worth it.
