On the 26th of october Izabella turned 4 months old and I cant believe it. She is laughing out loud more and more every day. She is very very tickelish in her inner thighs and under her arms. She has discovered her feet and she loves to eat them. She can roll from her stomach to her back, and already got her first ouch from rolling off the couch at Gmama's house. Izabella is playing more and more with her toys. She is trying to sit up.
As many of you know we had trouble getting pregnant with izabella and then during the pregnancy and with all the research we have done we started eating more healthy and doing more natural things. For insistance the doctors told me I would miscarry again (while I was pregnant with Izzy) if i didnt take asprin and heprin(both are blood thinners), because of my blood clot disorder that I had. I didnt take these things, I started to eat more fruits and veggies and taking all natural stuff called JUICEPLUS, a few months of doing this they retook the blood work and there was no sign of every having a blood clot disorder. So needless to say the doctors were wrong. We have tried to continue to eat this way and we also have the kids on juiceplus, nathan hasnt had any ear infection or really gotten sick (except for minor colds) since we have put him on juicepluse and changed his milk to rice milk. Izzy is not going to get any shots and we have stopped getting nathan vaccinated to and in the process tring to find an all natural peditrician. So now that it is already time for Izzy to start eating certain foods I have decided to make her food, for one it is better for her, for two it is cheaper than buying baby food and for three it is easy. So what i have made so far is pears, sqaush, applesauce, greenbeans and bananas. Also i made teething biscuits. Everything came out good except for the teething biscuits i need more practice on those, I couldnt get the dough right, but hay little nathan liked them so maybe izzy will to. She liked everything but the greenbeans and sqaush. If i mix the greenbeans into her cereal she is okay with it. I will have to try the samething with the squash. I got all my reciepes from http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com. They have awsome meal ideas especially for older kids and everything seems easy and simple.
Now an update on nathan (xavier). He is doing good for the most part, has gotten into a little bit of trouble here and there at school and some of the things he shouldnt have gotten in trouble for, like saying "shake your booty" but oh well its his teachers rules. So we are tring to work with him on using nice touches and not saying "shake your booty" in school. He really enjoyed being in michigan and cant wait to go back and play with uncle jeffrey and cory. He also wants to see his aunt amy again. He cant wait to make chocolate chip cookies with Brittney. He really liked going out with his aunt kikki just by himself and talks about it a lot, so aunt kikki you will have to do that again with him.
Now as for Nate and I we are doing good, we do need some alone time so maybe one of the grandma's can watch the children when we come home in december so we can go out just the two of us. Nate has been very busy working, which is good. He had a higher up guy call him the one day to tell him that he is doing a great job, so that made him feel good. I am back in school and it is going good so far, kind of hard getting back into the grove of things especially with having children. But having a supportive husband and a supportive friend (Tamara) down here with me I know I can get through it and I will get my degree in two years or so. My gold canyon business is picking up, which is nice. But anyways its getting late so i need to get off. Cant wait to see everyone again in december.
love
