Good Traveller and Sweet Dreams

Our little Anya has quite a travel record going so far. Being a Texas kid she has obviously already traveled across half the state and all of Arkansas to be our daughter and about a week and a half ago she had her first trip to Missouri. Thankfully with a little bit of timing and luck she can be a real trooper when it comes to traveling.

This pic was taken on the road to MO and as you can see, have teddy bear - will travel.


We are also happy to say that since moving Anya to the "gentle" Enfamil formula she has been eating better and subsequently resting better afterwards. The only roadblocks to her eating well are the occasional bubble, dirty diaper, or her infamous ability to go comatose about halfway through. She can be a real goober sometimes ;) Another good point is that she is sleeping better and she usually will only get up twice a night and more of then than not she gets up once about 3:30.

For the most part we are home with her over the next couple of months with the occasional trip to the family in MO. I have to make the best of my afternoons after work with her. Thankfully the formula change has also made her less irritable in the afternoons so we get a chance to interact and talk more than we did the first few days. I still have a lot to learn but thankfully both Katy and Anya are patient with me.

All I know for sure is that when I hold her and she just stares at me and gives that little grin it just melts away pieces of the old me. Have I found out that being a daddy can be trying, frustrating, and tiring....absolutely, but the rewards are infinitely worth it. All for the love of a child.
